PETALING JAYA: A lawyer representing the wife of a man who died in police custody has alleged that the post-mortem’s toxicology report proved that police did not give the critically-ill man the medicines he required. The police officers who arrested Thanilas did not take Thanilas’s medicines along when arresting him. They instead told his wife, Janagi Nadarajah, to bring them to the Sentul police station later in the day.
M Visvanathan, who was representing Janagi, told an inquest at the Coroner’s Court in Kuala Lumpur yesterday that police were made aware of her husband’s medical history when they arrested him.
