GEORGE TOWN – Penang police are waiting for the complete report on the death of a police sergeant who was found with three gunshot wounds behind Bayan Lepas police station near here last month in order to complete the investigation into the incident.

Penang police chief Datuk Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said the complete report on the February 19 incident will be sent to request an inquest to identify its cause.

“We will apply for an inquest regarding the incident after receiving the complete report, which is the chemical, ballistic, and post-mortem reports, including pathology.

“Based on the preliminary autopsy report, it was found that the first and second shots did not hit vital organs – which could have caused the victim’s immediate death – and the investigation also did not show the presence of anyone else there (during the incident). In fact, I would like to emphasise once again that there was no criminal element in the incident,” he told reporters here today.

Earlier, Shuhaily attended the presentation ceremony for a RM100,000 donation for kindergartens for special children and orphans managed by Penang police. The contribution was presented by Implementation and Coordination of National Agencies on the Economic Stimulus Package (Laksana) chief executive officer Datuk Shahrul Nazri Abdul Rahim.

Earlier, Shuhaily was reported to have said that the investigation had been completed – finding no criminal elements – and in line with their first finding of suicide, the officer’s demise was classified as sudden death.

On February 19, Jana Milie, 51, was found dead behind Bayan Lepas police station with gunshot wounds to the chest, neck, and head.

Earlier in his speech Shuhaily said 90 special children and 116 orphans – as well as two kindergartens under police management of PDRM, namely the Seberang Prai Tengah Police Headquarters Kindergarten and the Southwest Police Headquarters Unity Kindergarten received aid from Laksana today.

“The total amount of funds from Laksana is worth RM100,000 and this donation is very meaningful to all the recipients today and as Penang police chief, I express my gratitude to Laksana for the efforts and commitment shown,” he said.

Meanwhile, Shahrul Nazri said the donation was part of Laksana’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) and last year it contributed RM1 million under its CSR programme. – Bernama, March 7, 2023
