Teoh Beng Hock family knew for seven years death wasn’t probed as murder, court told
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 — The High Court here was told today that the family of Teoh Beng Hock has been aware for more...
The family of Teoh Beng Hock, a political secretary, has known for over seven years that his death was not investigated as a murder case, a High Court was told. Senior Federal Counsel Mohammad Sallehuddin Md Ali raised the issue in the government's preliminary objection to a fresh judicial review application filed by the family on April 17 this year.
The investigation into Beng Hock's death in 2009 was later reclassified in 2019 under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement. Despite their awareness, the family delayed taking legal action, only filing the judicial review application after the statutory deadline of three months had passed, beginning on June 28, 2019.
On November 17, Judge Norliza Othman will rule on whether to grant the family's request for an extension of time.
