Death in police custody – K Letchumanan (Raub police station lock-up, 18 December 2007) PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 21 December 2009 02:37am
Two years ago last Friday, 30-year-old K Letchumanan reportedly died in the Raub police station lock-up four days after he had been arrested.

Despite the requirement that all custodial deaths be investigated by inquiries conducted pursuant to Chapter XXXII of the Criminal Procedure Code, it does not appear that an inquest has been conducted into K Letchumanan’s death.

Every death in custody must be thoroughly and impartially investigated.  K Letchumanan’s death must not be relegated to a mere statistic.

Based on the Royal Malaysia Police’s statistics, 85 persons died in police custody between 2003 and 2007 alone.
 
We express our heartfelt condolences to K Letchumanan’s family and friends on this anniversary of his death.
