Death in custody victim N Dharmendran was defencelessly beaten to death while handcuffed, suggests the preliminary report of post-mortem examination revealed today.
The written report by forensic pathologist Dr Siew Sheue Feng from Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) concluded that there were no defensive wounds found on Dharmendran’s body.
“It was quite clear that during his beating he was handcuffed, and in a lower position, possibly kneeling or something,” family lawyer N Surendran said at a press conference at PKR HQ today.
Dharmendran had sustained 52 marks of injury throughout his body, ranging from head to toe.
Surendran declared that this was “even worse than A Kugan’s case” in 2009.

While the police have classified Dharmendran's death as murderunder section 302 of the Penal Code, the four officers being probed are still serving desk duties.
Today Dharmendran’s widow took offence that the perpetrators were still walking free and demanded they be immediately arrested.
