KUALA LUMPUR: The policemen involved in the Durian Tunggal shooting in Melaka have been removed from active enforcement duties, says Comm Datuk M. Kumar.
The Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director said investigations by his department and the Integrity and Standards Compliance Department are ongoing.
“A total of 45 statements have been recorded since investigations began.
“We have also sent the audio recording handed over to us by the family of the suspects and their lawyer to CyberSecurity Malaysia for analysis.
“We are still waiting for the report,” he said in a press conference at the Bukit Aman police headquarters yesterday.
On Nov 24, three men, aged between 24 and 29, were shot dead after one of them attacked a policeman with a machete at an oil palm plantation in Durian Tunggal.
The 4.30am incident left a corporal in his early 30s seriously injured in his left arm.
The suspects, believed to be members of the Durian Tunggal Gang, were detected while on their way to commit a robbery.
The gang had reportedly been active since early 2024 and are linked to 20 cases in Melaka, and one case each in Negri Sembilan and Selangor, causing losses amounting to RM1.35mil.
