The investigation into Noorizwan Zulkefly's death while in police custody has been transferred to the Prosecution/Legal Division (D5) of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Bukit Aman. Inspector-General of Police Datuk M. Kumar announced that the case will be examined under Section 331 of the Penal Code, which deals with intentionally causing grievous hurt to extract a confession or force the return of property.
This determination was made after a forensic medical consultant from Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz reported external injuries on the deceased's body, all consistent with blunt-force trauma and not self-inflicted. The complete post-mortem report, detailing the cause of death, is yet to be obtained, and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is awaiting additional information from the hospital.
The investigation aims to identify the officers and personnel involved in handling the victim during his time in custody at Cheras district police headquarters. Inspector-General Kumar emphasized that the PDRM is dedicated to a thorough, professional inquiry, free from any cover-up, to uphold criminal justice according to current laws, and committed to maintaining transparency and integrity throughout the process, guaranteeing impartial justice for all.
