Lawyer: Coroner erred in TBH case


Teoh Beng Hock

PUTRAJAYA: The Coroner’s Court conducting the inquest into Teoh Beng Hock’s death should have returned a verdict of homicide, the Court of Appeal heard.

Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo said the coroner had misdirected himself in respect of the standard of proof when he returned an open verdict on Jan 5, 2010, that Teoh’s death was not caused by suicide or homicide.
