Police, AG allow second post-mortem on Krishnan

The police and the Attorney-General's Chambers have consented to a second post-mortem on M Krishnan who died while in police custody on Jan 7.

It is believed that this will go before a judge this afternoon. The court is currently recording the consent judgment before a deputy registrar.

Krishnan's family and a witness have claimed that he was assaulted in the Bukit Jalil police station lock-up, and died as a result of his injuries.

The Hospital UKM, which did a post-mortem, attributed his death to a stomach ulcer.

Krishnan's widow, P Revathi, 37 (right), said she believes Krishnan's death was caused by police brutality and has demanded that a second post-mortem be conducted.

She filed an application at the Kuala Lumpur High Court yesterday.
