Policeman watching CCTV did not see man prepare to kill himself, kill himself,,,1/2/2010

Death in Custody - P. Babu - 1/2/2010 - Bahau Police Station

Don't tell me that the police officer watching the CCTV of the lock-ups did not see the man preparing to kill themselves...and kill himself? Was he on a cigarette break... what about the other police officer? What about the other suspects in the said police lock-up...and adjacent police lock-ups - did they not see anything ...do anything to stop someone from hanging himself? 

Has the inquest been done yet? Should they not wait until after the inquest to make conclusions  - i.e. he hanged himself  (and it was not the police that killed him, and hanged him to give the impression that it was suicide...)

It is not easy to hang yourself in a police lock-up...and why did he kill himself? We need an independent body to investigate deaths in police custody....Police more likely to 'protect' their own....and cover up the truth...That is why we need the IPCMC

Thank you Gwo-Burne Loh for sharing with the public the questions raised and the answers received - many MPs just do not take the trouble to share this...

JAWAPAN LISAN DEWAN RAKYAT YB GWO-BURNE LOH PADA 15 APRIL 2010

SOALAN:

Tuan Gwo-Burne Loh [Kelana Jaya] minta MENTERI DALAM NEGERI menyatakan di mana Pegawai Polis yang bertugas berada ketika mangsa P.Babu dikatakan membunuh diri dengan menggunakan baju lokap yang dipakai oleh mangsa pada 1 Februari 2009.

JAWAPAN:

Tuan Yang Di-Pertua,

Saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Ahli Yang Berhormat Kelana Jaya yang mengemukakan soalan.

Untuk makluman Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat dan dewan yang mulia ini, kes yang dimaksudkan oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat itu berlaku pada 1 Februari 2010 dan bukannya 1 Februari 2009. Hasil siasatan polis mendapati P.Babu telah ditemui mati di dalam lokap Balai Polis Bahau, Negeri Sembilan akibat menggantung diri menggunakan baju lokap yang dipakainya. Semasa kejadian, terdapat dua (2) orang anggota polis sedang bertugas di dalam lokap tersebut di mana seorang sedang berdiri di ruang sentri lokap dan seorang lagi sedang duduk melihat kamera litar tertutup (CCTV).
