PETALING JAYA: The police will utilise 3D scanning technology in the renewed investigation into Teoh Beng Hock’s death, which occurred 15 years ago.

Bukit Aman criminal investigation department director Shuhaily Zain said the technology could help produce a clearer picture of the scene where Teoh was found dead at Plaza Masalam, Bernama reported.
“After so long, I find the structure of the location has changed slightly due to time, but the police will try to reconstruct the possible incident in 3D.
“As to how far this technology can help the investigation, we will wait for the results of the findings in two weeks,” he was quoted as saying after revisiting the scene last night.
Shuhaily said five special teams had been set up since Teoh’s death was reported, with over 40 witnesses identified although some might be difficult to track down as they had returned to their home countries.
He expressed optimism that the police would complete their investigation by May and said they would not hesitate to revisit the preliminary investigation if necessary.
“We (the police) will try to wrap up the investigation as soon as possible. We will seek instructions from the public prosecutor before submitting the investigation papers to the court,” he said.
On Nov 21 last year, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered the police to complete the investigation into Teoh’s death within six months following a judicial review filed by Teoh’s parents.
Teoh was found dead on July 16, 2009, on the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam, after providing a statement at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission office on the 14th floor of the same building.- FMT
