Cadet death inquest: Witness told off for filing misleading police report


IPOH: A witness called to give evidence in the inquest into a Royal Malaysian Navy cadet officer's death was reprimanded by the coroner for choosing incorrect words when lodging a police report.

Ipoh Sessions Court judge Azman Abu Hassan, sitting as coroner, told Lumut Armed Forces Hospital's medical assistant Mohd Fazil Mansor that if he was not the person who received the cadet when he first came to the hospital and handled his body after his death, then these should not be stated in his police report.
