Bukit Aman: Injuries in Cheras custodial death were not self-inflicted, probe papers to AGC on Wednesday

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 — Bukit Aman will submit its investigation papers into the death of detainee Noorizwan Zulkefly at the Cheras district police headquarters lock-up to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) on Wednesday, along with its recommendations.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk M. Kumar said the investigation, which was recently taken over by the department, was being conducted under Section 331 of the Penal Code.

He said police would await further instructions and advice from the AGC after submitting the investigation papers.

Kumar also confirmed that the detainee had sustained significant physical injuries, which a forensic pathologist had verified were not self-inflicted.

However, he said the cause of death remained under investigation, and police could not yet establish whether the injuries had contributed to Noorizwan's death.

“What I can confirm is that there were physical injuries, which were confirmed by a specialist forensic pathologist, and they were not self-inflicted,” he told a press conference at Menara 2 Bukit Aman here.

Separately, Kumar confirmed that police had received a report lodged by a doctor involved in the case over alleged harassment.

He said investigations were being conducted under three provisions of the Penal Code, namely Section 506 for criminal intimidation, Section 186 for voluntarily obstructing a public servant in the discharge of their duties, and Section 189.

Kumar said investigations into the doctor's report were ongoing and further developments would be announced.

Noorizwan, 42, died on October 1 while in custody at the Cheras district police headquarters lock-up.

News reports quoting family members and their lawyers indicated that Noorizwan had sustained nearly two dozen severe injuries, based on preliminary postmortem findings.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has ordered a thorough, transparent and uncompromising investigation into Noorizwan's death in police custody.

Bukit Aman had classified the case under Section 331 following a statement recorded from a forensic medical consultant at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz who conducted the postmortem, Kumar was previously quoted as saying.

The consultant confirmed signs of external injuries on several parts of the deceased's body that were consistent with blunt-force trauma and were not self-inflicted, Kumar said.

The case has since drawn national attention and renewed public scrutiny of the government's pledge to reform detention procedures and end custodial deaths.

Addressing Parliament last week, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail pledged transparency in the investigation and said officers found responsible would be punished.

吉隆坡，11月2日讯——武吉阿曼警察总部将于周三向总检察署提交其对被拘留者努里兹万·祖基菲里在蕉赖警区总部拘留所死亡事件的调查报告及建议。

武吉阿曼刑事调查部主任拿督M. Kumar表示，该调查最近由该部门接手，并依据《刑法》第331条进行。

他表示，警方将在提交调查文件后，等待总检察署的进一步指示和建议。

库马尔还证实，被拘留者遭受了严重的身体伤害，法医病理学家证实这些伤害并非自残所致。

然而，他表示死因仍在调查中，警方目前还无法确定伤势是否与努里兹万的死亡有关。

“我可以确认的是，死者身上有身体伤痕，这一点已经由专业的法医病理学家确认，而且这些伤痕并非自残所致，”他在武吉阿曼大厦2号举行的新闻发布会上说道。

另外，库马尔证实，警方已收到一名涉案医生的报案，称其遭到骚扰。

他说，调查是根据《刑法》的三项条款进行的，分别是第 506 条（刑事恐吓）、第 186 条（故意妨碍公务人员履行职责）和第 189 条。

库马尔表示，对医生报告的调查仍在进行中，后续进展将另行公布。

42岁的努里兹万于10月1日在蕉赖区警察总部拘留所被拘留期间死亡。

新闻报道援引其家人和律师的话指出，根据初步尸检结果，努里兹万身受近二十处严重伤势。

首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣已下令对努里兹万在警方拘留期间死亡一事进行彻底、透明和毫不妥协的调查。

据库马尔此前透露，武吉阿曼警察总部已根据第331条将此案列为刑事案件，此前，端姑慕赫里兹医院的法医顾问进行了尸检并录下了证词。

库马尔说，顾问确认死者身体多处有外伤迹象，符合钝器外伤的特征，并非自残所致。

该案件引起了全国的关注，并再次引发公众对政府改革拘留程序和结束羁押期间死亡的承诺的审视。

内政部长拿督斯里赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安·伊斯梅尔上周在国会发表讲话时承诺，调查将保持透明，并表示将对被查明负有责任的官员进行惩罚。
