KUALA LUMPUR: Police will submit the investigation paper on the shooting incident in Durian Tuggal in Melaka to the Attorney-General Chambers (AGC) on Tuesday (Dec 16), says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
On Nov 24, three men aged 24 to 29 were shot dead after one of them allegedly swung a machete at a police corporal in a palm oil plantation in Durian Tunggal.
The 4.30am incident left the policeman, in his early 30s, seriously injured on his left arm.
Melaka police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said all suspects from the Durian Tunggal Gang were believed to be on the way to commit a robbery.
They had allegedly been active since 2024, involved in 20 cases in Melaka and one case each in Negri Sembilan and Selangor, with losses totalling RM1.35mil.
However, on Dec 3, the families of the three suspects denied claims that the victims acted violently by attacking the police.
Following this, on Dec 4, a special team was set up to investigate the families’ allegations of dissatisfaction with police actions.
