Kapar MP S Manikavasagam believes the second autopsy on electrician M Krishnan, who died in police custody, is a “cover-up”.
KUALA LUMPUR: The preliminary report on the second autopsy on detainee M Krishnan who died in police custody earlythis month has shocked Kapar MP S Manikavasagam.
The second autopsy, conducted by Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) pathologist Dr K Mathiharen, concurred with a first autopsy report which stated that Krishnan died from a stomach ulcer.
“It is shocking, I find this hard to believe. I believe it was a cover-up by the police and hospital authority,” he said in response to the second post mortem result which was released today.
The family had rejected the results of the first autopsy, conducted at the Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, because Krishnan’s body was heavily bruised.
The family then field an an application in court for second post-mortem.
Speaking to FMT, Manikavasagam said: “As usual the victim’s family was played-out. I was with the family when they visited Krishnan’s body.”
“The body had bruises all over his back, an open cut wound on his right abdomen and a bruise on his right eye. How could he have self-afflicted such injuries if not beaten by the police?” he asked.
Asking on the family’s next course of action, Manikavasagam replied: “Nothing could done.”
“The family cannot do anything because they have cremated Krishnan’s body according to Hindu rites,” he said.
Krishnan, 37, a father of the six, was arrested on Jan 3 in Taman Miharja, Cheras along with four others for allegedly trafficking drugs.
He was found dead in the lock-up at the Bukit Jalil police station on Jan 6.
