Parents seeking answers to son's death in custody dismayed as inquest hits a snag


GEORGE TOWN: Distraught parents Zaidi Mohd Din and Fazilah Othman have had only one thing on their mind these past two years: finding out how and why their 29-year-old son died in police custody.

They hoped that an inquest, which was to begin on Tuesday (March 9) after Covid-19-related delays, would shed light on Mohd Fadzrin Zaidi's reported death by hanging at North Seberang Prai district police headquarters on Nov 22,2019.
