Rayer gesa menteri KDN campur tangan kes kematian Noorizwan

Jelutong MP RSN Rayer implored the Home Minister to intervene in the case of Noorizwan Zulkefly's death while in police custody. He demanded a thorough investigation and suspended the duties of the officers involved. Rayer emphasized that this incident is another instance of a death in police custody and called for the police to disclose the investigating officer and all other involved personnel, as well as the methods used during the interrogation.

"My first question is: who was the interrogating officer? Was he suspended from duty?," he questioned. "Who was involved in interrogating Noorizwan? I want the Kuala Lumpur Police Chief to reveal these details," he added at a media briefing. Rayer also questioned how Noorizwan, who was detained for questioning, could sustain multiple serious injuries before being taken to the hospital and confirmed dead.

Addressing the injuries Noorizwan sustained, including six broken ribs, head injury, back pain, bruised legs and arms, and internal bleeding, he dismissed the explanation that he fell. "I demand that officers involved be suspended and an inquiry opened under Section 302 Penal Code (for causing death),," he stated. Rayer urged any officer found to have misbehaved or used excessive force against Noorizwan to face accountability.

Noorizwan was arrested on September 20 and held at IPD Cheras for 11 days without informing his family before being transferred to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM on September 30. He was pronounced dead on October 1. His family rejected the chief of Kuala Lumpur Police's claim that his arrest and detention followed standard operating procedures.

On October 12, a forensic pathologist at the hospital reportedly confirmed to the family and Malaysian government that the cause of death was trauma resulting from being struck on the head with a heavy object. The autopsy reportedly found 21 serious injuries, including internal bleeding in the brain, internal abdominal bleeding, and severe bruising from the waist to the feet.
