THE POLICE
have come under fire for not disclosing the identity of the fourth suspect,
believed to be a cop, in the murder of detainee N. Dhamendran.
Many
parties have raised questions why the police have yet to disclose the identity
of the suspect, believed to be a chief inspector.
DAP's
Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng yesterday lodged a police report at the Sentul police
headquarters, urging them to disclose the suspect's identity so the public can
help track down the suspect.
Dhamendran
was found dead on May 21 while under police custody at the KL police
headquarters.
Four
policemen were charged with the murder on June 5, but one of them is still at
large.
Police have
withheld his identity, only disclosing that he holds the rank of inspector.
The other
three that have been charged are sergeant Jaffri Jaafar, corporal Mohd Nahar
Abdul Rahman and corporal Mohd Haswadi Zamri Shaari.
Lim said
there was no reason to keep the other suspect's identity a secret since he was
already on the police wanted list.
He said the
police have always been quick to release photo-fits and identities of suspects
in other crime cases to ask for public help.
"I
urge the police to apply the same method in Dhamendran's case to show there is
fair treatment," he said.
Lim said
failure to do so would make it seem as if the police are biased in cases
involving one of their own.
"It
will appear as if they are practising double standards," he said.
He also
urged the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) to investigate why, in
the early stages of Dhamendran’s death, the police provided a different cause
of death to that later determined by the coroner.
"I
will write an official letter to urge the EAIC to add one more term of
reference — to investigate why police initially said Dhamendran's death was due
to breathing difficulties."
A
post-mortem carried out at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) stated that Dhamendran
died as a result of "multiple blunt force trauma".
