Adib inquest: ‘His injuries likely not from assault’

Firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kasim Inquest withnessSime Darby Medical Centre Cardiologist Dr Anand Sachtanandan at Shah Alam Session court.

SHAH ALAM: The injuries sustained by Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim were most likely not caused by assault, one of the doctors who treated him told the inquest into the fireman’s death.

Dr S. Anand (pic), a cardiothoracic surgeon with Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC), under questioning by Zhafran Rahim Hamzah, who is on the three-member team from the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC), said CT scans on the upper parts of Muhammad Adib’s body showed that they were normal but not his chest area, which would be “less likely” in an assault victim.
