PUTRAJAYA (Oct 6, 2011): The Court of Appeal will decide tomorrow on an appeal by the A-G’s Chambers against a High Court decision awarding a housewife RM 4.1 million for her husband’s death 11 years ago.
Justice Datuk Seri Abu Samah Nordin, who sat with Justices Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus and Datuk Aziah Ali , fixed the date after hearing submissions on the appeal filed against the award given to Suzana Md Aris for her husband’s death in police custody on Aug 19, 1999.
A post mortem found that her husband Mohd Anuar Sharip, 31, in all probability, died of bronchopneumonia.
Suzana filed a suit in 2000 against Gombak police chief DSP Ishak Hussain, district CID chief ACP Massari Hashim, then Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Norian Mai and the government.
In October 2009, then-High Court Justice Datuk Kang Hwee Gee ruled that the police were negligent and failed to take reasonable care of Mohd Anuar while he was in their custody.
