The police will propose to the Attorney-General’s Chambers that an inquest be held on the Glenmarie shooting incident, which resulted in the death of three youths under questionable circumstances.

Selangor police chief Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said police have yet to complete investigations into the matter.

This is despite the shooting having taken place in November last year.

NONE “It is improper for the police to comment further on the case since we will propose that an inquest be held,” Tun Hisan ( right ) said.

“However, police actions were merely to arrest the suspects. I would not want to comment beyond that, as it may affect the proposed inquest,” he said.

If he were to comment further, he said, there would be a lot of versions and this would hamper the inquest.

“We will submit the papers to the DPP’s office as soon as we complete investigations,” he said.

Asked why the investigations took so long, the Selangor CPO said his men had to compile reports from various departments.

Yesterday, Lawyers for Liberty representative N Surendran, who is also a PKR vice-president, claimed that the post-mortem conducted on the three youths showed that they were shot "execution-style" by the police.

azlan The three youths were allegedly gunned down by cops at close proximity, and when they were in a kneeling position.

Muhammad Hanafi Omar, 22, Muhammad Shamil Hafiz Shapiei, 15, and Mohd Hairul Nizam Tuah, 20, were gunned down by the police after a reported high-speed car chase in Glenmarie, Shah Alam, on the early morning of Nov 13.

The police had previously stated that the youths had charged at them with machetes, and were shot during the purported attack.

‘Post-mortem contradicts police version of events’

“The post-mortem from the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital contradicts the police version of the incident that they acted in self-defence and shot the boys, which means they would have been shot in the front,” Surendran had said.

“However, the post-mortem report says the angle of the bullet was 45 degrees entering the forehead and exiting the back of the neck, and for the chest shot, (the bullet) similarly entered at a 45-degrees trajectory through the body.

NONE “This indicates the victim was kneeling or in a lower position than the shooter,” Surendran ( right ) said, referring to the autopsy report on Muhammad Syamil.

Surendran said he received the post-mortem reports conducted by Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah's forensic pathologist Dr Khairul Azman Ibrahim on Muhammad Shamil and Mohd Hairul on Tuesday, but the report on Muhammad Hanafi is not ready yet.

Tun Hisan also confirmed  receiving the post-mortem reports from the hospital, but declined to comment on the findings.

“If police are to comment, it will upset the inquest. Let all the evidence be made available.

“Furthermore, we have yet to complete investigations into the case. I cannot respond to any further on this issue,” he said, adding that police would conduct a fair investigation.

Asked whether police could complete their investigations into the shootings by next week, Tun Hisan said he could not speculate as the investigations depended on many agencies, including the hospital.

Drug bust at condo unit in Ampang

He also announced that police yesterday busted a syabu laboratory at a Taman Ampang Utama condominium unit with the arrest of two men - a 26-year-old laundry outlet helper and a 29 year-old stall owner.

Tun Hisan said 26 packets of syabu, valued at RM36 million, and other syabu-making paraphenalia were seized.

Each packet of can be used to meet the needs of 77,600 users, he said, adding that the two were picked up for behaving suspiciously at the entrance to the condominium.

The case has been classified under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drug Act, which provides for death by hanging upon conviction.

The 26-year-old also tested positive for drug use, Tun Hisan said, adding police were still investigating who the owner of the condo unit is.
