NGO Lawyers for Liberty has called on the police to utilise their vast resources and swiftly apprehend the missing inspector and prosecute him for N Dhamendran's murder.

The police, it said, should have acted more seriously in addressing the crimes committed by its own officers.

The NGO's co-founder and adviser Eric Paulsen said the police should also address the public's lack of trust and confidence, rather than playing down or covering up crimes perpetrated by one of their own.

The police today revealed the fugitive inspector as Hare Krishnan K Subramaniam. They also have also released his photograph.

Three policemen a sergeant and a corporal a re charged with Dhamendran's murder with the fourth being the missing inspector who has been over 40 days on the run.

It was reported that Dhamendran was tortured and died while being detained for 10 days at the Kuala Lumpur police contingent.
