NFA - Beng Hock death probe ends

Police have classified investigations into the death of Teoh Beng Hock as no further action.

A press invite from the Teoh Beng Hock Foundation said that police had relayed this information to the Teoh family lawyer Ramkarpal Singh on May 20.

The family will be holding a press conference on the development tomorrow.

In 2009, Teoh, an aide to then-Seri Kembangan assemblyperson Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead after overnight questioning at Selangor MACC, which was then headquartered at Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam.

A 2011 Royal Commission of Inquiry ruled he was driven to suicide due to aggressive interrogation. However, in 2014, the Court of Appeal ruled his death was caused or accelerated by unlawful acts, including those of MACC officers.

On Nov 21 last year, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered the police to complete the investigation into his death within six months after appeals court judge Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh allowed a judicial review application by Teoh’s parents.

In early February, police said they would utilise 3D crime scene reconstruction technology to assist in their renewed investigation.

However, later that month, the family accused the police of repeatedly questioning them instead of the MACC officers implicated in Teoh’s death.

In April, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Shuhaily Zain accused the family of being uncooperative, a charge they denied.

Suhaily also said that the investigations were hampered by limitations.

“The investigation is limited in terms of resources, as it was 15 years ago. We are unable to reinterview some witnesses, while others refuse to come forward,” he had said.
