The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has formed a task force to look into the custodial death of a detainee in the locak-up of the Bera police district headquarters in Pahang.

Soh Kai Chiok, 49, was reported to have been found in an unconscious state before he was pronounced dead at 12.15am on Jan 18.

Soh was initially arrested on suspicion of stealing bananas and was being investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code.

"A task force comprising senior EAIC officers has been formed under Section 17 of the EAIC Act 2009 in order to investigate this death immediately," EAIC chairperson Yaacob Md Sam said in a statement today.
