IGP: CID ordered to probe Noorizwan's death after unusual injuries found
PUTRAJAYA: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has been ordered to investigate the death of detainee Noorizwan Zulkefly, 42, at the Cheras police headquarters following the discovery of several unusual injuries on his body.
PUTRAJAYA, Oct 25 - The Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail, has ordered the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to launch an immediate investigation into the death of Noorizwan Zulkefly, who passed away while under police custody at the Cheras District Police Headquarters. The investigation is being carried out due to the discovery of unusual injuries on Noorizwan's body, which require further scrutiny.
Inspector-General Mohd Khalid directed the CID's director, Datuk M. Kumar, to conduct the investigation promptly and share the findings with the public. Once the post-mortem report from the hospital is received, indicating the cause of death, an official statement will be issued outlining the next steps. The Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) has issued a statement on the case, but police are still waiting for the laboratory report to determine the exact cause of Noorizwan's death.
Earlier, JIPS director Datuk Aida Abdul Hamid stated that the post-mortem examination found no injuries to Noorizwan's internal organs, with only external injuries identified on his body. Noorizwan, aged 42, died on October 1 after reportedly being transferred from the Cheras District Police Headquarters to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz in Cheras the day before.
