KUALA LUMPUR: Police are working on several leads in the murder of former Tenggaroh assemblyman Datuk S. Krishnasamy.
Federal Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Bakri Zinin they are still gathering evidence and it was too early to charge anyone for the murder.Bakri stressed that police have not stopped their investigations at any stage. Bakri urged Krishnasamy's family to be patient and allow police to continue with the investigations.
"We are working on a lead but there is no strong evidence to pin the suspect down as yet," Bakri said, adding that police could not divulge information on the ongoing investigations to the family as it could jeopardise the case.
On the investigations against Krishnasamy's son, Raj Kumar, for criminal defamation, Bakri said investigations were still underway.
Johor police had lodged three reports against Raj Kumar, an engineer, for allegedly accusing the police of protecting the suspects involved in Krishnasamy's murder. Raj Kumar's alleged text messages and emails also criticised the police for their inability to solve his father's murder.
Most of the emails and text messages were addressed to Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff and Johor Baru (south) Criminal Investigation Department chief Deputy Superintendent Nor Hisham Mohammad.
The latest report against Raj Kumar was lodged by Mokhtar on Oct 15 after he accused police of protecting people allegedly involved in the murder. Raj Kumar's laptop and handphone had been seized by police.
The police claimed that since Krishnasamy was killed, the family had been in constant contact with them for updates on the investigations.
However, Raj Kumar had claimed that he sent the text messages after failing to get a proper response from police over the investigations.
Raj Kumar said he was questioned by police two days after Deepavali. He had questioned why the suspects who had been detained to facilitate investigations were released.
Krishnasamy, who was state deputy MIC chairman, was gunned down at the party's office in Jalan Segget here on Jan 11 last year. The 61-year-old was shot as he entered a lift.
