IGP promises transparency for probe on Penang cop’s fatal shooting

KUALA LUMPUR – Police have given assurance of a transparent investigation into the incident where a police sergeant was found dead with three gunshot wounds. He was discovered at the back of the Bayan Lepas police station in Penang last week.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said police had always been professional in their investigations, even in cases involving their own personnel.

He said police were still waiting for the post-mortem report on the shooting case.

“I would like to advise the public not to speculate on this case as the investigation is ongoing,” he told reporters at a ceremony for handover of duties to the new Selangor police chief and Selangor Perkep chairman here today.

The 51-year-old policeman, who was attached to the police station, was found dead, with a pistol on his body and three gunshot wounds to the neck, chest and head. – Bernama, February 24, 2023
