Probe Into Teoh Beng Hock S Death Classified As Nfa

---

 The probe followed a High Court order in November last year for the police to complete their long-delayed investigation.
Teoh Beng Hock died on July 16, 2009 at the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam, after being questioned for hours by MACC.PETALING JAYA: The case involving the death of Teoh Beng Hock has been classified as requiring no further action or NFA
According to an invitation by the Teoh Beng Hock Association for Democratic Advancement to a press conference tomorrow, Teoh’s family was informed by police yesterday that the case had been classified as NFA.
On Nov 21 last year, the High Court had directed the police to complete their long-delayed investigation into the death of Teoh more than 15 years ago.
Justice Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh made the order in the judicial review proceedings brought by Teoh’s family two years ago.
The family had sought a declaration that the failure of the police to complete the probe into Teoh’s death within a reasonable timeframe was a breach of common law and statutory duties.
Teoh died on July 16, 2009 at the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam, after being questioned for hours by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
An inquest into his death was held and the coroner returned an open verdict.
However, the Court of Appeal in 2014 ruled that Teoh’s death was caused by “one or more persons unknown”, including MACC officers.
In 2019, police launched an investigation under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement.
Prior to 2018, two special investigation teams were set up – one in 2011 and the other in 2015 – to look into Teoh’s death, but both cases were classified as NFA by the public prosecutor. - FMT
