KUALA LUMPUR — The Royal Malaysian Police's Federal CID headquarters at Bukit Aman will submit its investigation papers on the custodial death of detainee Noorizwan Zulkefl to the Attorney General's Chambers on Wednesday, with preliminary findings indicating the injuries were not self-inflicted.
The completion of the police investigation marks a significant development in the case, which has drawn public attention and scrutiny regarding the circumstances surrounding the detainee's death while in police custody in the Cheras area.
The submission to the AGC will provide prosecutorial authorities with the police findings to determine whether further action is warranted. The determination that injuries were not self-inflicted suggests the investigation examined multiple factors and evidence gathered during the inquiry into the incident.
The case comes amid ongoing public and official interest in custodial death investigations and police conduct during detention. Authorities have not yet released detailed findings from the investigation to the public.
