A male detainee whose gang robbery and police impersonation case was up for mention at the Sessions Court escaped from a lock-up on the second floor basement of the Jalan Duta Court Complex in Kuala Lumpur today.
Mohd Radzuan Abdul Rahman, 33, wearing a yellow T-shirt and a pair of shorts, slipped off at 8.45am when police brought in more than 50 other detainees from the Sungai Buloh Prison to the court complex for case management.
Kuala Lumpur CID deputy chief Asst Comm Khairi Ahrasa said the detainee, who is from Jalan Klang Lama, was seen chatting with others before getting himself loose from the handcuffs and fled by climbing over the court’s perimeter fence.
“The security guard in front of the court could not do anything to stop him. We are taking statements from several policemen who were handling the detainee,” he said when contacted.
He did not rule out that the case could have been due to negligence.
The man has been on remand order since Jan 30. Police are investigating the case under Section 223/224 of the Penal Code for escaping from police custody, he said.
Police are now viewing the closed circuit television recording at the court complex on how the incident took place.
A check by Bernama found a team of policemen had surrounded the complex area while other personnel were combing the courtrooms.
