KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23- Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail said the family of Kugan Ananthan could get a second post mortem, if they wished.
He said the body has already been surrendered to the family and it's their right to get a second post-mortem done.
"Why should we object?" he said, when told that Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar had refused to authorise a second post-mortem and had told the family to get court order, it they wanted one.
Abdul Gani said he had also reclassified the case from voluntarily causing hurt to extort a confession, to murder, based on the evidence which had been presented to him.
He stressed the reclassification was done to facilitate investigations only, at this
point, and added that he wanted to avoid a trial by media.
"I have ordered a thorough investigation and we want to act fairly for all parties, including the family."
He urged the public and media not to jump to conclusions, but to allow justice to take its course.
