SUHAKAM INQUIRY | The Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) public hearing on a series of missing persons cases has come to a close today after it highlighted more inconsistencies in police testimonies.

The last two witnesses to take the stand in the hearing were Special Taskforce on Organised Crime (Stafoc) operations superintendent Hazril Kamis and former Kedah police chief Asri Yusoff, who testified on a shootout that killed a suspected smuggler linked to pastor Raymond Koh’s abduction and the events leading to a police press release on the incident.

Hazril told the inquiry that he and his team encountered the suspect while acting on a tip-off on smuggling activities. A fight ensued that killed the suspect (named “Fauzi”) on the spot.
