SITIAWAN: Policemen did not dare touch a drug suspect; what more hurt him because they knew he was HIV-positive, an inquest into his death while in custody was told yesterday.
Former Manjung district narcotics chief Asst Supt Sawaluddin Haminuddin said no one in his investigating team, which carried out a search at L. Yogesrao’s sister’s house in Ayer Tawar on Dec 10, 2003, had tried to hurt him, as they knew he was HIV-positive.
