Adib S Death Cops To Recall Witnesses For Polygraph Tests

---

Police will use the polygraph to quiz some of the witnesses in their latest effort to investigate the death of firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim
The lie detector will be monitored by several Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers, said Bukit Aman criminal investigation chief Huzir Mohamed
"We are collaborating with the MACC to use the polygraph and will determine who will be called again for the quizzing process," Huzir told the media at Bukit Aman today
Huzir said that to date, police have recorded statements from 30 people after the inquest to determine Adib's (photo) death concluded in September

Huzir said police will also record statements from two experts who testified in the coroner's court, namely Dr Shahrom Abdul Wahid and Amir Radzi Ab Ghani
Police are also expecting new witnesses as they have identified several individuals from their analysis, he said
The Shah Alam Coroner's Court had ruled that Adib's death was due to a criminal act perpetrated by two or three unidentified assailants during the riot outside the USJ Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple last November
On a separate matter, Huzir said police will record statements from 14 people in their latest investigation into the Teoh Beng Hock (below) case
These witnesses are old and new individuals in relation to the case, he said
The case is investigated under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement
On Nov 18, Selangor police chief Noor Azam Jamaludin said police have recorded statements from five witnesses, including Teoh's former boss and Seri Kembangan assemblyperson Ean Yong Hian Wah, Kota Alam Shah assemblyperson M Manoharan, and several MACC officers
On July 16, 2009, Teoh was found dead after falling from the ninth floor of Plaza Masalam, MACC's former Selangor headquarters in Shah Alam, where he had been held overnight for questioning
Noor Azam said Attorney-General Tommy Thomas had on July 16 instructed for Teoh's case of sudden death to be re-investigated under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement
Thomas had at the time explained to Teoh's family lawyer Ramkarpal Singh that the new classification was merely an administrative procedure which will not stop investigators from gathering more evidence, including on possible culpable homicide charges
Noor Azam said the new probe was also based on a Court of Appeal judgment in 2014 that one or more unknown persons, including MACC officers, had caused Teoh's death. - Mkini
