Poor probes and inept prosecution blamed

BY NASA MARIA ENTABAN

KUALA LUMPUR: Poor investigation and incompetent prosecution are the main causes of justice not being served, said former attorney-general Tan Sri Abu Talib Othman.

Abu Talib, now chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), said at a meeting with the Barisan Nasional Backbenchers yesterday that he was concerned that three recent high-profile murder cases had ended in acquittal.

“There have been too many acquittals. Only the right people should be charged and they should not be arrested on suspicion alone,” he told newsmen later.

“The authorities must be more cautious. No one should be prosecuted until there is sufficient evidence to justify a charge and not merely because it’s a high profile case,” he said.

On July 1 last year, the High Court found Shah Alam City Council engineer Hanif Basree not guilty of murdering guest relations officer Noritta Samsudin.

On Aug 11 last year, Indonesian waiter Azman Bakar was freed of a charge of murdering Sabah assistant minister Datuk Norjan Khan Bahadar.

On Tuesday, stockbroking firm director Koh Kim Teck and his bodyguards Mohamad Najib Zulkifli and Resty Agpalo were acquitted of a charge of killing 14-year-old Chinese student Xu Jian Huang.

“In all three cases, arrests were made based on suspicion alone. Within a week the accused persons were arrested and detained for a long time, with each case ending in acquittal,” said Abu Talib.

“There is a need to raise the quality of investigation and prosecution, and to make sure that only competent police officers handle complicated cases.”

At the meeting between Suhakam and the Barisan National Backbenchers, police investigation and prosecution were discussed.
