KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 — The Bar Council criticised today the coroner’s court for delivering an open verdict in the Teoh Beng Hock inquest, and called the whole process meaningless.
Its president Ragunath Kesavan said the ruling was “indecisive” and had “cast grave doubts on the effectiveness of the inquest mechanism and renders the whole process meaningless”.
Shah Alam magistrate Azmil Muntapha Abas, who was appointed to be the coroner in the inquest, had ruled out homicide yesterday despite accepting the fact that Teoh had suffered injuries before falling to his death at Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam on July 16, 2009.
The political secretary to Selangor state executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah had been interrogated overnight by anti-graft officers at their state headquarters in the building’s 14th floor.
