Syndicate roping in Chinese nationals as drug mules, says Bukit Aman
Federal narcotics crime investigation department director Hussein Omar Khan says they have come across three cases - two in Hong Kong and one in Penang - using the same tactics.
Bukit Aman is set to submit its investigation report on the death of detainee Noorizwan Zulkefly, who died on October 1 in the Cheras district police headquarters lock-up, to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) on Wednesday. The report will include the department's recommendations for the case, which is currently being handled by the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
CID Director Datuk M. Kumar confirmed that the investigation is being conducted under Section 331 of the Penal Code. He revealed that Noorizwan suffered significant physical injuries, as verified by a forensic pathologist, but these injuries were not self-inflicted. However, the cause of death remains under investigation, and police cannot yet determine if the injuries contributed to his death.
Additionally, Kumar stated that police have received a report of alleged harassment from a doctor involved in the case, and investigations under Sections 506 (criminal intimidation), 186 (voluntarily obstructing a public servant), and 189 are ongoing. Noorizwan's death has sparked national attention and raised concerns about the government's commitment to reforming detention procedures and preventing custodial deaths.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has requested a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident.
