Inspector-General of Police Khalid has directed Bukit Aman’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to immediately investigate the death of Noorizwan Zulkefly in police custody at the Cheras district police headquarters (IPD).

He said the investigation must be thorough, following the discovery of several unusual injuries on Noorizwan’s body that warranted further scrutiny.

“I have asked the CID, particularly its director M Kumar, to investigate this case as soon as possible and make the findings... known to the public.

“At the same time, once we receive the hospital’s post-mortem report stating the cause of death, we will issue an official statement on the next course of action,” he told reporters after the 26th convocation ceremony of Spectrum International University College (SIUC) in Putrajaya today.
