ALOR SETAR, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- Criminal actions by
four policemen and a civilian contributed to the death
of a 15-year-old boy while under police detention five
years ago, a coroner's court said Sunday.
Magistrate Muhammad Redzuan Abdullah, who sat as
the coroner, said the policemen had tried to cover up
the cause of Woo Boon Leong's death. "The court
finds that the victim did not die due to drowning or
accident as claimed by the policemen involved, in
their evidence," he said.
Muhammad Redzuan, who conducted an inquest to
find out the cause of Woo's death, said the court not
determine the actual cause but felt that the criminal
actions of the four policemen and the civilian
contributed to the death.
He said the four policemen also violated several
police regulations with the clear intention of
protecting themselves from any action, The four are
Chief Inspector Bakri Zainal Abidin and Lance
Corporals Zolkarnain Abdullah, Ahmad Murad Arshad
and Fasmurin, while the civilian is Lim Hai Theng.
The court heard that the three policemen detained
Woo at a video arcade here on March 30, 1995 and
the four were then driven to Butterworth by Lim in
his car.
The three lance corporals, all detectives attached to
the Butterworth district police headquarters, testified
that Woo drowned in a drain in an escape attempt
while being taken to Butterworth.
One of their friends, however, told doctors at the Yan
Hospital, near here, that the they found Woo's body
near the Gurun toll plaza and believed he was an
accident victim.
Muhammad Redzuan said the post-mortem conducted
on Woo's body showed that he did not drown as
there was no water in his lungs. He said several
regulations had been violated - there was no clear
order from a chief to make an arrest outside their
police district, no police reportwas lodged after the
arrest, the three policemen were led by a civilian,
and no report was lodged after Woo died.
He said the three policemen and Lim had also met
Bakri after the incident at a karaoke centre in the
early hours of the morning, and the chief inspector
had tried to protect them by saying that the case
was a minor one that could be resolved, and advised
them not to report the matter to anyone.
Meanwhile, lawyer Simon Muralai, who was holding a
watching brief for Woo's family, said the family
would sue the police over the boy's death. --
