The late cadet officer J. Soosaimanicckam’s family members outside the court room.

IPOH: Despite evidence and doubts that the late naval cadet officer J. Soosaimanicckam did not die due to natural causes, the investigation officer (IO) failed to take a statement from the deceased’s brother, a Coroner’s Court here heard.

Civil servant Calvin Joseph, 35, said his brother’s body had bruises, lacerations and other injuries, but despite that the officer had told him that there were no criminal elements involved.
