YB Khalid For The Aid - You are the man.

The family of death-in-custody victim N Dhamendran needs more sustainable aid to carry on with their lives after the death of their sole breadwinner, Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said today.

Khalid, who is also the Bandar Tun Razak MP, visited Dhamendran's family at their flat in Bandar Tun Razak today, but did not specify the kind of aid he or his party would extend to the family.

"I don't want to talk about specific aid, but it's clear that the children's education must be taken care of. Also the family is renting their home, so they need proper income to sustain themselves," Khalid said.

He said he paid the visit because Dhamendran's family lived in his constituency, and also to update himself with the latest developments in the case.

"What's clear is that justice must be served as soon as possible, not only to the victim, but also the family," he said.

Dhamendran's wife M Marry (right) said she might have to start working in order to sustain the family, but a problem was that her two-year-old child would not stay with any of the family's relatives.

"We need income. I have never worked before. My husband took care of everything, including the rental for the flat," Marry said.

Dhamendran died at the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters on May 21, 10 days after being arrested over a shooting incident in Bandar Tun Razak.

His family said his ears had been stapled and the pathologist who performed the post-mortem declared blunt force trauma as the cause of death.

Three policemen have been arrested and charged with Dhamendran's murder, while the police said a fourth officer involved in his death has gone into hiding.

Death In Custody - P Karuna Nithi's autopsy report shows he had sustained 49 injuries.

Contrary to police claims of no foul play and no injuries on custodial death victim P Karuna Nithi's body, the victim's autopsy report shows he had sustained 49 injuries.

These are predominately bruises caused by a blunt object on the chest and limbs, according to the report prepared by Tuanku Jaafar hospital forensic consultant Dr Sharifah Safoorah Syed Alwee Al'Aidrus.

PKR public complaints bureau chief S Manikavasagam said the report contradicts what the police have initially claimed.

"The CPO of Negri Sembilan (Osman Salleh) had come up and said there is ‘no injury, no foul play, nothing. (They said) we have never beaten him up.'

"Before the post-mortem had been completed, he came up with a press statement saying that these are all rumours and told the public not to believe them.

"So today, it is very clear: 49 injuries. These are new injuries," said Manikavasagam when contacted today.

He said he accompanied Karuna's family to see Sharifah yesterday to receive a one-hour briefing regarding her findings and the report, a copy of which has been sent to Malaysiakini.

Karuna, an engineer, died on June 1 at the Tampin police district headquarters, a day before the family could raise money to post bail for him after he was charged on May 31 for "causing hurt".

‘Injuries did not cause death'

Despite the report of the injuries however, the autopsy report concluded the cause of death to be "fatty change of the liver", a condition commonly associated with alcoholism or obesity.

She added that the injuries did not involve the muscles or the skeleton, and on its own, could not have been a direct cause of death.

"Fatty change of the liver causes death through hypoglycaemia (abnormally low blood sugar content) and/or electrolyte imbalance, both of which cannot be proven in a post-mortem.

"This condition is possibly compounded by absence of partially digested food material in the gastric cavity," she wrote.

When asked to explain the findings, Manikavasagam (above) said the pathologist had speculated during the briefing that Karuna had not been eating while in detention and was too frail to survive any beating as a result.

Manikavasagam, who is also the former Kapar MP, said Karuna's family has lodged a police report at the Seremban police district headquarters today against CPO Osman over the latter's claims that there was no foul play in Karuna's death.

They will also raise the issue in a memorandum to the Bukit Aman police headquarters on Tuesday, and another to the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) later next week.

Sugumar's family mulls suit

Meanwhile, in the case of another death in custody victim C Sugumar, lawyer Latheefa Koya said the family is mulling to sue the government and the police for causing suffering to them and Sugumar.

Sugumar was found dead on Jan 23, allegedly after being chased by the police, handcuffed, and beaten by them and a crowd who had joined in the chase.

However, Latheefa said they will wait for Serdang Hospital's autopsy report first before deciding on their next move.

They were previously told by Sugumar's pathologist that he had died of a heart attack, and requests for a second autopsy were unsuccessful.

Three Charged For Murder of N Dhamendran

Three police personnel were charged in a magistrate's court in Kuala Lumpur today with the murder of N Dhamendran while he was being held in their custody.However, no pleas were recorded from accused Jaffri Jaafar, 44, Mohd Nahar Abd Rahman, 45, and Mohd Haswadi Zamri Shaari, 32.
However, they acknowledged  the charge levelled against them in a courtroom packed with family members and relatives of Dhamendran (above, right), as well as reporters.

The three policemen were charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code with committing murder with joint intent, together with another who is still at large, by causing the death of Dharmendran Narayanasamy.

They are accused of committing the offence between 12.20pm and 2.50pm on May 21, 2013, at the Special Investigations Division (D9), Level 7 of the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters.

The charge, which will be heard in the High Court, carries a mandatory death penalty upon conviction.

Magistrate Nur A'minatul Mardiah Md Nor set July 9 for mention and also for the submission of case documents, including the chemist’s and post-mortem reports.

Jaffri was represented by Hazman Ahmad, Mohd Nahar by Baljit Singh Sidhu while the third accused, Mohd Haswadi, was represented by Geethan Ram Vincent.

Lawyers N Surendran, Latheefa Koya, G Sivamalar and M Manogaran held a watching brief on behalf of the deceased’s family.

Multiple blunt force trauma

Earlier today, Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail said in a statement that he had decided to “proffer a murder charge under Section 302 of the Penal Code against the police personnel involved”, based on evidence gathered through investigation.

“The police personnel concerned are to be indicted in court this afternoon.”According to Gani (left), the 31-year-old detainee was found dead in his cell while in police custody the at lock-up of the D9 branch of the Kuala Lumpur police contingent.

Dhamendran had been arrested on May 11 on suspicion of attempted murder involving firearms and had been held under remand from May 12 up to the time of his death.

Based on the post-mortem examination conducted at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital on May 22, the cause of death was determined to be "diffused soft tissue injuries due to multiple blunt force trauma".

"The AG's Chambers views this latest incident of a death of a detainee while in the custody of a law enforcement agency seriously, and is committed to dealing with any alleged wrongdoing leading to the death of Dhamendran in accordance with the law," Gani said.

"The AG's Chambers then directed the police to investigate the case and the dedicated task force established by the inspector-general of police completed its investigation and submitted the relevant investigation papers to the AG's Chambers on June 4.

"Although the events involved are regrettable, the swift action of the Royal Malaysian Police to address the death of Dhamendran is nonetheless commendable and reflects (its) commitment... to uphold the integrity of the institution of the Royal Malaysian Police."

Barking At Each Other

Who lets the dog out.... Wof wof wof......

Lets bark at each other..... Wof wof wof...

I have a Rott Weiler now and i have owned dogs since I was young. My family never lived with out dogs. Dogs are such a great friend to human and in Indian community dogs always portrait as a thank full animal.

They will die for their master to protect and to safe guard. Not only the master but the master's family as well. This is what I have learned, that being loyal is the key for trust and prove for loyalty.

Seems now a days we have lots of dogs barking in our political arena. Ya, before I forget, the Tamils also says, barking dogs don't bite.

So, loyalty and barking dog don't bite goes well in our community. Some just bark, some just being loyal to their master for the ministers job offered, some just wait and shake their tail when the master is around, and go back to sleep when the master is not around.

Some dogs kill each other for female dogs and some fight to dead for food and territorial defeat.

But real dogs will stay alert and protect and fe guard the property when the master is not around. No doubt we human sometimes act like a dog when comes to certain issues.

We just bark, because we hear other dogs bark. We bark to attract attention. We bark to scare others. We bark for publicity.

So, go on barking and barking. No one is bothered to listen to barking anymore. Soon or later its all about barking and not bitting to protect. No more protection and no more safe guard.

Every one bark, everyone barking to show support, everyone barking when something new in sight, everyone bark to protect their rice bowl, everyone bark to show their existence. Every one bark for territorial  defeat.

So, lets bark..... Who lets the dog out... Wof wof wof.....

Another Dead In Custody - P Karuna Nithi

Engineer P Karuna Nithi has become the third person to die in police custody in less than two weeks. The family was informed of his death in Tampin last night.

Karuna's family was informed by telephone at 9.45pm yesterday that he had "suddenly died" about 7pm at the Tampin district police headquarters, former Kapar MP S Manikavasagam said today.

Manikavasagam, who accompanied the family to Hospital Tuanku Jaafar in Seremban this morning, said the family found injuries on Karuna's body.

"Only two persons were allowed to see the body. I was not allowed as I am not a family member, so I told the family to check the body.

"The family was not allowed to move the body but there was blood on the tray where the body was placed," Manikavasagam (left) told Malaysiakini when contacted.

Karuna's brother P Ilam said when contacted that he saw bruises on Karuna's arms and blood on his head.

"He was bleeding from the back of his head and there were bruises on his left and right arms.

"The doctor said something may have happened to him in the lock-up but we are not sure what," he said.

Close to 1pm today, Manikavasagam said the post-mortem was still going on and the family would claim the body later today.

"The family will take the body for special prayers tomorrow, outside the police station where Karuna (right) was killed," he said, adding that they will also lodge a police report.

According to Manikavasagam, Karuna had gone to see his estranged wife about their two children and an a scuffle took place.

Karuna later went to lodge a police report on the incident, but was instead arrested by police and remanded for three days.

He was on May 31 charged in the magistrate's court in Tampin with "causing hurt".

"At that time, the family members were there and they said he was in good health when in court," said Manikavasagam.

Karuna was to be out on bail tomorrow

Karuna was granted bail at RM4,000 but was unable to immediately raise the sum.

The family had plan to post bail on Monday but were instead informed of his death last night.

"I call Home Minister Zahid Hamidi (right) to take immediate action. Karuna was a well-educated person, an engineer who had no previous criminal record. It was just a small family dispute.

"Don't let this be another Dhamendran case where those responsible were put on desk duty.

"This is double-standard. When police commit murder they get desk duty but when anybody else is accused of this, they get charged," said Manikavasagam.

Jobless man R Jamesh Ramesh, 40, was found dead in a police station lock-up in Penang on May 26. Police said he died of liver failure.

On May 21, N Dhamendran, 31, was found dead after being remanded at the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters. Police said he died of breathing difficulties.

However, the case was classified as murder after a post-mortem found the body to have been tortured.

The full autopsy report released yesterday revealed Dhamendran suffered 52 injuries, ranging from his body parts being stapled, rattan-like marks throughout his body and even an incomplete number "8" mark on his hip.

Suspend the Policemen - Dhamendran's Widow

The wife of death in custody victim N Dhamendran is upset that the policemen linked to his death been given desk jobs with suggestions of them being suspended, when they should have been arrested from the beginning.

"They have murdered my husband. They should be in a lock up, not having a desk jobs. They do not deserve it. By right, they should be hung to death,” said S Marry.

"If the public were to kill someone, would they still be walking free? This is the police committing murder," said the teary mother of a two-year old son.
Yesterday Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was tentative with calls for the policemen being probed for the 31-year-old’s death to be suspended from duty instead of being assigned desk jobs, saying it had to be handled delicately lest the police force be demoralised.

Dhamendran had allegedly gone to the police station to lodge a report over a fight, but had ended up being detained and died in custody, initially said to be from breathing difficulties.

However an autopsy at Kuala Lumpur Hospital on May 22 concluded the cause of death as blunt force trauma.

Police have since classified Dhamendran's death as murder under section 302 of the Penal Code.

Marry's call comes after lawyer N Surendran made public Dhamendran's autopsy report at the PKR headquarters this morning, which suggested that he was handcuffed and brutality beaten to death.

Surendran, also the Padang Serai MP, said the police were already aware of Dhamendran's brutal cause of death when they handed over the autopsy report to the family's lawyer at 11am yesterday.

"Based on this report, legally it is adequate evidence to bring murder charges against all the police personnel involved under section 302 of the Penal Code.

"But instead the four personnel are transferred to desk duty, this is a joke... We demand that all the police personnel involved be arrested immediately. I mean today - within the hour," he said
He said under Section 302 of the Penal Code, the accused cannot be granted bail and must be in detention until their trial concludes but yet the culprits were still "walking about freely".

Low adding to family grief

Surendran also described as a lie Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Paul Low's denial of seeking a secret meeting with the deceased's family through Dhamendran's father and claiming it was the family's representative who first sought the meeting.
Surendran confirmed that Dhamendran's father B Naraynasamy who spoke to Low's officer D Ravindran had asked them not to come to their home as emotions were running high, but denied the family engaged the Prime Minister's Department first.

"I am disgusted by Paul Low and his officers. Here is a family in sorrow and they decide to go about casting aspersions on a grieving family.

"Well done Paul Low, if this is the best you can do," he said sarcastically.
When pressed on Low's assertion that he merely wanted to help and his intention for a meeting had been misunderstood, an angry Marry retorted: "We did not misunderstand, it was the person on the phone who misunderstood. If they wanted to help we would've accepted".

"But why did they ask us to meet in secret and ditch our lawyers? That is not helping," she said angrily.

Surendran reiterated his call for an explanation from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak himself as the call had came from his departmen which had a history of interfering in such cases such as blocking a Thai pathologist from conducting an autopsy in C Sugumar's death in custody case.
He also demanded that Home Minister Zahid Hamidi and inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar explain why Dhamendran's body was stapled repeatedly and riddled with cane marks.

'Apologise to family'
"There has not been a single word of apology to the family, instead they (government) are attacking the family, accusing them of making phone calls (to the Prime Minister's Department).

Surendran also blasted the government for debates over the forming of a panel to oversee death in custody and suggestions to install CCTV when it had yet to address the immediate matter - arresting those responsible.

"These are all distractions from the real matter at hand," he said.

The family's lawyer Michelle Yesudas described the Dhamendran's death as an "execution".

"What we have here is an execution of a person even before he is brought to court.

"Every time the government fails to address death in custody, they are victimising every single victim who dies in custody (after that). We do not want this anymore," she said.

Beaten to Death In Custody - Suffered 52 injuries.

 

Death in custody victim N Dhamendran was defencelessly beaten to death while handcuffed, suggests the preliminary report of post-mortem examination revealed today.

The written report by forensic pathologist Dr Siew Sheue Feng from Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) concluded that there were no defensive wounds found on Dhamendran’s body.

“It was quite clear that during his beating he was handcuffed, and in a lower position, possibly kneeling or something,” family lawyer N Surendran said at a press conference at PKR HQ today.

Dhamendran had sustained 52 marks of injury throughout his body, ranging from head to toe.

Surendran declared that this was “even worse than A Kugan’s case” in 2009.

According to the autopsy, a group of double ‘tram line' bruises, believed to be from rotan marks, were found in a parallel oblique pattern on his lower back and posterior.

"We can only speculate but these look like rotan marks, or something similar," Surendran said.

A patterned bruise, resembling an incomplete number 8 was found on his hip bone.

There was also another double ‘tram line' bruise on Dhamendran's wrist-hand consistent with handcuff marks.

The autopsy also reported numerous blackened bruises on his face, the chest area, shoulders, legs, scalp and back, which Surendran described as "overlapping bruises".

His abdomen, below the kidney area, loins, and navel also carried similar marks.

'Stapler used as torture instrument'

Both Dhamendran's ears were found with staple wounds with the staples still there while his legs had puncture wounds, also believed to be from staples that had been removed.

"These are consistent staple wounds, and this indicates that they had used a stapler to torture him," Surendran said.

Some other bruises found on Dhamendran's body were: A thick blood clot on his lower right thigh, measuring 28 x 20cm.

• An extensive blood clot on his left thigh, measuring 50 x 31cm

• Bruise measuring 23 x 14 cm on lower left leg

• Blood clots measuring 9 x 6.5cm on left half of his face

• Patchy bruises on his neck and upper chest, measuring 13 x 8cm

While the police have classified Dhamendran's death as murder under section 302 of the Penal Code, the four officers being probed are still serving desk duties.

Today Dhamendran’s widow took offence that the perpetrators were still walking free and demanded they be immediately arrested.

Dhamendran's death recalls similar circumstances surrounding 22-year-old A Kugan's in 2009 (right).

The youth was detained over alleged car theft and died in custody of horrific mulltiple wounds to his entire body and internal organs, although police originally claimed he died of an asthma attack.

Dr Siew concluded in her report that the overall pattern of these injuries revealed that they were neither self-inflicted nor accidental in nature.

Surendran also concluded that it means Dhamendran had been in good health when he first entered the lockup.

"Dhamendran was beaten on every part of his body, and not one inch was spared," he added.

"We can only imagine the pain and agony he endured during the last moments of his life as he was (allegedly) handcuffed and beaten to death.

"He was a man with hopes and dreams, a heart and a family. And they (police) took everything away from him."
