A-GC objects to Teoh Beng Hock family's bid for murder probe
KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney-General’s Chambers (A-GC) has objected to a bid by Teoh Beng Hock’s family for leave to initiate a judicial review to compel police to investigate his death as murder.
The Attorney-General's Chambers objected to the Teoh Beng Hock family's bid for a judicial review to compel police to investigate his death as murder. The family's legal representatives argue that the application was filed within the three-month statutory deadline. However, the Federal Counsel representing all respondents claims the application was filed too late, as the family became aware of the investigation's classification six months prior to filing. The A-GC has decided there will be no further action on the matter.
