Another 2 victims of extrajudicial killing by police.
As usual, post-death, police says, possibly as a means to justify the no-arrest but killing, one has '...23 previous criminal records and six wanted cases...'. A criminal record must mean that he has been charged, tried and convicted 23 times before - so why exactly is he freely driving around? How times before was he brought in for police investigations? Remember the PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE until proven guilty in a Court of Law after a fair trial.
And, apparently the police is investigating under '...Section 307 of the Penal Code and Section 8 of the Arms Act 1960...' It seems that the police are investigating persons already dead - WHY? Please explain.
People were KILLED, so the police should be investigating under Section 302 of the Penal Code(MURDER), and the suspects being investigated should the police officers who shot and killed the 2.
In this case, what is suspicious is that 'a team of police officers from the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) together with the CID Division of the Perak police contingent headquarters followed a gray Proton Waja vehicle driven by two suspects.' So many police officers from 2 CID teams - did they really go out to arrest the said suspect/s or ...
BODY-CAMs and CCTV would have been very useful to find out the truth here...
What were the police wearing - uniforms? Were they using clearly identifiable police cars? Was there an attempt to ARREST - what did the police do to try to arrest these 2?
Will the CORONER quickly come in and start the inquiry into death > we want to know what the CORONER decide especially whether there were anyone criminally liable for the death of the 2.
Even in past extra-judicial killings by police shootings, that were reported in the media, we have yet to get the CORONER's findings... WHY? Should the Coroner's finding after an inquest(or otherwise) be readily available to the PUBLIC so we can all be satisfied that the killing was inevitable, that arrest was not possible, that the police actions were legitimate acts of self-defence and not intentional killing of 'suspects', and the police did NO WRONG?
Police is supposed to arrest and investigate, Prosecutors will charge them in court, and Courts(Judges) will decide whether they are guilty and decide on the sentence...Today, they would most likely be sentenced to prison not hanged to death...
Two criminals die in shoot-out with police on North-South Highway near Tanjung Malim
KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 — Two criminals were shot dead in a shootout with the police at kilometre 396.5 of the North-South Highway (PLUS) at the Tanjung Malim layby, Perak, yesterday.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said a report regarding the incident was received at about 11.32 last night and the dead criminals were two local men in their early 30s.
He said the incident occurred after a team of police officers from the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) together with the CID Division of the Perak police contingent headquarters followed a gray Proton Waja vehicle driven by two suspects.
“The suspects then entered the North-South Expressway heading north after realising they were being followed and upon reaching the scene of the incident, the suspects fired several shots at the police.
“The police returned fire until the situation was safe. An inspection inside the suspect’s vehicle found both covered in blood and deceased,” he said in a statement today.
Hussein said a check found that one of the suspects had 23 previous criminal records and six wanted cases by the police while the identity of the other suspect was still being identified.
The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code and Section 8 of the Arms Act 1960.
