Bukit Aman CID takes over custodial death probe after forensic examination reveals blunt-force injuries

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 — The investigation into the death of Noorizwan Zulkefly while in police custody has been taken over by the Prosecution/Legal Division (D5) of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Bukit Aman.

Bukit Aman CID director Datuk M. Kumar said the case is now being investigated under Section 331 of the Penal Code, on intentional infliction of grievous hurt to extort a confession or to compel the restoration of property.

He explained that this classification was determined following a statement recorded by a forensic medical consultant at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz who conducted the post-mortem, confirmed the presence of external injuries on several parts of the deceased’s body.

The pattern of these injuries is consistent with blunt-force trauma and was not self-inflicted.

“However, the complete post-mortem report confirming the cause of death has yet to be obtained, and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is awaiting further information from the hospital regarding this matter,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Kumar added that the investigation is ongoing to identify the police officers and personnel involved in the handling and management of the victim while he was in custody at Cheras district police headquarters.

“The investigation will be conducted thoroughly and professionally, without any element of a ‘cover-up,’ to ensure that criminal justice is upheld in accordance with the prevailing laws,” he asserted.

He further emphasised that PDRM is committed to ensuring transparency and integrity throughout the investigation, guaranteeing impartial justice for all, and will not compromise on any form of misconduct. — Bernama

吉隆坡，10 月 28 日讯——努里兹万·祖基菲利在警方拘留期间死亡的调查已由武吉阿曼刑事调查局的检控/法律部门 (D5) 接手。

武吉阿曼刑事调查部主任拿督M. Kumar表示，目前该案正根据《刑法》第331条进行调查，该条文规定故意造成严重伤害以勒索供词或强迫归还财产。

他解释说，这一分类是根据端姑慕赫里兹医院的法医顾问记录的声明确定的，该顾问进行了尸检，确认死者身体多个部位存在外伤。

这些伤势的分布情况符合钝器伤的特征，并非自残所致。

“然而，完整的尸检报告尚未获得，以确认死因，马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）正在等待医院就此事提供进一步信息，”他昨天在一份声明中说。

库马尔补充说，调查仍在进行中，以确定在受害者被关押在蕉赖区警察总部期间，参与处理和管理受害者的警官和工作人员。

他断言：“调查将以彻底、专业的方式进行，没有任何‘掩盖’的成分，以确保刑事司法按照现行法律得到维护。”

他进一步强调，马来西亚皇家警察致力于确保整个调查过程的透明度和公正性，保障所有人获得公正的司法，绝不容忍任何形式的不当行为。——马新社
