THE Bukit Aman Integrity and Standards Compliance Department’s Death in Custody Investigations Unit will investigate into a custodial death case in Kuala Kangsar, Perak.

Department director Azri Ahmad said the 38-year-old man, believed to be mentally ill, went on a rampage and allegedly attacked his father at a house in Kampung Temong Hilir, Kuala Kangsar, at 7pm yesterday.

“Officers who arrived at the scene found the suspect acting aggressively and putting up a struggle against four men, including his father, before they managed to subdue him.

“The suspect was taken to Kuala Kangsar Hospital for treatment after being apprehended. However, he lost consciousness and was pronounced dead by a medical officer.”

Azri said the case has been classified as sudden death pending the post-mortem report. – Bernama, January 30, 2022.
