No. 104, Block 9, 5 Floor,
Taman Melur Tampoi,
81200 Johor Bharu.
Dated:16/11/2009
Last night at about 10.30 p.m the Air Molek Prison authorities telephoned me to say that my nephew (my own sister’s son) Saravanan a/l Jeganathan (22) had died in the said prison at about 10.00 p.m by hanging himself. I do not believe this.
My nephew who is a Supermarket general worker was arrested on 16/10/2009 and detained at the Desa Cemerlang, Ulu Tiram police station up to 11/11/2009. From 11/11/2009 to 15/11/2009 ie within four days at the Air Molek Prison, he is now dead. How is this so?
Today at about 12.30 p.m myself and my brother Chandran saw the body of my nephew which was full of blue black marks on his back, (Spine area) legs and hand as if he was beaten with a rotan, hit and also punched. His right toe has bruises. The police and hospital personnel including Dr. Mohd Hasnah have refused to allow us to take photographs of these injuries. I now demand my right to take the photos before it disappears or any evidence of this murder is tampered with by the police, prison and hospital authorities..
I believe that my nephew was beaten up and killed by the Air Molek Prison personnel.
I want the police and/or prison personnel responsible to be prosecuted for murder forthwith and criminal action to be taken against the police and Johor Baru General Hospital doctor and personnell for trying to cover up this murder.
