Any inaction by the police against its officers investigated for the murder of three suspected robbers in Durian Tunggal, Malacca, will strengthen impunity within the force, a lawyer said today.

Rajesh Nagajaran claimed that an example of such impunity or a sense of “getting away” without repercussion for an alleged breach of procedures is the latest incident involving a police officer stepping on a man’s head in Kulim, Kedah.
