Last week, lawyer N Surendran urged the police to investigate the case as a murder, saying it remained unclear why Noorizwan Zulkefly was arrested and what offence he was alleged to have committed.

Lawyers for Liberty director Rania Aljunied and lawyer Wan Nabilah Dina Wan Zamri said the family of Noorizwan Zulkefly, 42, wanted to know why no police officers had been arrested, suspended or charged over his death.

"It is outrageous that, to date, there has been no explanation or transparency from the inspector-general of police, home minister or the government since this horrific death occurred 13 days ago," they said in a joint statement today.
