Robbery suspect alleges assault by cops

KUALA LUMPUR: Police are investigating a report that a robbery suspect was allegedly assaulted by three policemen during an interrogation at the Negri Sembilan Police Contingent headquarters on Jan 22.

Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Osman Salleh said the man, in his 30s, claimed that the assault left him with neck, hand and leg injuries.

“He was taken to the Tuanku Jaafar Hospital (in Seremban) last Sunday after he complained of neck pain.

“An initial report showed a fracture of the neck. However, according to doctors, the suspect had broken his neck before.

“He will be examined again, this time at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital to determine whether it was recent or old fracture,” he told reporters at the Royal Malaysian Police Golf Course at the Titiwangsa Lake Garden here Saturday. [read more]
