The police have given their commitment to investigate concerns raised by the Court of Appeal on the case involving the late Teoh Beng Hock.

"We note what has been decided by the court, and we will investigate what has been raised by the judge.

"And after we have concluded the investigations, we will refer the matter to the Attorney-General's Chambers," Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar told reporters in a press conference today.

Khalid ( photo ) was asked to comment on the police's next course of action, after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had admitted negligence in the case.

On May 12, the Malaysian government, the MACC and 10 MACC personnel agreed to an RM600,000 settlement for the negligence suit filed by Teoh's family.

Teoh, who was brought in as a witness by the anti-corruption body on July 15, 2009, was found dead the following day after falling from the 14th floor of the Selangor MACC headquarters in Shah Alam.

In September last year, the Court of Appeal overturned the open verdict of a coroner’s inquest into the cause of Teoh's death.

The Court of Appeal also ruled that the death was "a result of, or which, was accelerated by an unlawful act or acts of persons unknown, inclusive of the MACC officers who were involved in the arrest and investigations of the deceased".

Teoh's family has since vowed to pursue the perpetrators of his death, despite the family accepting the government’s offer to settle the negligence suit.
