Mati dalam tahanan, keluarga tolak dakwaan polis ikut SOP

Family of Malaysian man killed in police custody rejects police chief's claim that his arrest and detention followed SOP procedures. Noorizwan Zulkefly, 42, was linked to three recent cases, one involving drugs and two involving criminal negligence. Nooranis Zulkefly, his sister, expressed anger over the police claim that authorities followed protocol.

Noorizwan was associated with three fresh cases, one involving drugs and two involving criminal negligence. Nooranis claimed officers concealed the facts from the family for 12 days, and informed hospital staff that Noorizwan had no heirs while their home was only five minutes from IPD Cheras. He said police officers previously assured the family that the Kuala Lumpur Police Headquarters and IPD Cheras would not be involved in the investigation into his death.

So, why is the Kuala Lumpur Police Chief issuing statements about this now? I don't want the statement from the Kuala Lumpur Police Chief. I want the statement from the Chief of Malaysia. This is a serious issue. We, the people of Malaysia, have a right. He was accompanied by lawyers from Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) and members of the public, and gathered outside Bukit Aman to submit a formal objection memorandum backed by 53 NGOs, civil rights groups, as well as his father and five siblings.

Around 60 supporters gathered to submit the memorandum to Khairulnizam Rani from KPN Corporate Communications Division. They held placards stating "Uniform not arbitrary action" and "CCTV everywhere! Protect all evidence," while shouting "Catch the killer" and "Treat justice." The memorandum listed four main demands, including reclassifying the case as murder under Section 302 of the Criminal Procedure Code, remanding all officers involved during Noorizwan's detention at IPD Cheras, particularly those from Division 4, and public explanation of why the family was not informed in advance.

LFL said police must guarantee and maintain all CCTV recordings, entry logs, detention records, and medical records to prevent any evidence tampering. When the body was delivered to the family, they saw the swelling all over Noorizwan's body, which could not have been caused by anything other than beatings, said LFL President Rania Aljunied.

Noorizwan was arrested on September 20 and detained at IPD Cheras for 11 days without the family's knowledge, before being transferred to Canselor Tuanku Muhriz Hospital UKM (HUKM) on September 30, where he died on October 1. On October 12, forensic pathologist at HUKM informed the family and the legal team that the cause of death was trauma to the head with a blunt object.

The autopsy revealed 21 severe injuries, including extensive internal bleeding, peritoneal bleeding, and widespread bruising from the neck to the feet. The inquest showed that forensic examination had identified 21 severe injuries, including extensive internal bleeding, peritoneal bleeding, and widespread bruising from the neck to the feet.
