Family members of the late N Dharmendran are unhappy with the decision of the High Court in Kuala Lumpur to acquit four police officers on charges of murder.
Widow Marry Mariay Sussay said that she was disappointed with the decision made by judge Kamardin Hashim last Friday, in which he found no prima facie case against the four.
Following the acquittal, Marry (third from left) also questioned who was responsible for assaulting her husband, when the post-mortem report showed that Dharmendran had 52 injuries while under police custody.
“They held my husband for 10 days, how can the 52 injuries be inflicted by himself?
“There were staple marks in his ears, would my husband have done that? When I visited him, he was fine. But now when it is like this, no one is responsible.
“I am disappointed with a decision like this. If it was not them (the four police officers) who else would have done it?” Marry asked.
She was speaking to reporters at a press conference that was held at the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya today.
Others present included lawyers N Surendran, Latheefa Koya and Eric Paulsen.
Surendran (right) called on the prosecutors to file an immediate appeal on the case.
He said that by freeing the four police officers, it looked like no individual would be held responsible for the death of Dharmendran.
“So, after a year, we face a situation where no one is responsible for Dharmendran’s death,” Surendran said.
Last Friday, the Kuala Lumpur High Court acquitted Inspector S Hare Krishnan, 41, from Sungai Petani, Kedah, Sergeant Jaffri Jaafar, 45, Corporal Mohd Nahar Abd Rahman, 46, and Corporal Mohd Haswadi Zamri Shaari, 33.
Justice Kamardin ruled that there was no prima facie case against the four.
They were charged with committing the offence at the D9 investigation office of the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters on Jalan Hang Tuah between 12.20pm and 2.50pm on May 21, 2013.
The death of Dharmendran (left) was listed as a result of blunt force trauma following repeated beatings he suffered while under remand.
There were also rotan marks on his back.
Pathologist Dr Siew Sheue Feng, who carried out the post-mortem, also said that he found fresh wounds on Dharmendran's body, which proves that he was beaten up and tortured to death while in custody.
