Teoh Death - Police more or less



The police have 'more or less' completed its investigation into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock, said Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar today.


He said the police are also ready to face the inquest, which starts tomorrow.

Speaking at a press conference at the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam today, Khalid said the investigating team is waiting for a few more expert reports, such as from the pathologist.

He added that they expect to receive the reports later this evening.

Khalid also revealed that the police have recorded statements from 77 people, including 28 officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

All of them have been subpoenaed to take the stand at tomorrow's inquest, he added.

Stating that the police still classifies the case as 'sudden death', Khalid however refused to reveal the outcome of the investigations on the grounds that an inquest will be held.

Asked if the police anticipate a protest at the inquest by those who feel that the government is not doing enough, Khalid said: “This is a process of justice, it would be stupid to have a protest.”

Teoh is said to have plunged to his death from the 14th-floor of the Selangor MACC office in Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam, on July 16.
