MACC office window parts found near Teoh’s body

MACC office window parts found near Teoh's body

Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar today said that police revisited the site where Teoh Beng Hock died and found window components believed to have come from the 14th floor, occupied by the MACC, next to his body.

It was previously speculated that Teoh had fallen from the 9th floor, said to be unoccupied.

The 9th floor had all window intact, apparently.

"We were checking the 14th floor window because we found components of a window on the 5th floor. We will take a closer look at the window. We suspect it is the window handle," he said.

He also said that the police have seized Teoh Beng Hock's mobile phone from the anti-corruption investigating officer and that they are looking into the call list.

"We will leave no stone unturned. We will do a comprehensive investigation," he said.

Phone in MACC custody?

Speculation is rife that Teoh was still in the MACC's custody at the time of death as the mobile phone would have been returned to him if he had been released.

He said that the police have recorded 77 statements including 25 MACC officers. He added that they will also record statements from Ean Yong Hean Wah and lawyer M Manoharan soon.

"We found that he was in contact with these two individuals before he died," he said

He said that they would also record statements from Teoh's family and friends.

He also urged Kajang municipal councillor Tan Boon Hwa to come forward to give a statement following the police report he had made.

"If he refuses to do so, we will evoke Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code to compel him to give a statement.

"We can also charge him for giving false statement, if he refuses to come foward," he added.

Tan had on Friday alleged that the MACC threatened physical violence against him and his family during interrogation.

60 percent of probe done

Teoh's death on Friday at the MACC headquarters sparked nationwide outrage, causing many to question the interrogation methods employed.

Meanwhile, IGP Musa Hassan says that '60 percent' of the investigations' into Teoh's death has been completed.

He said that the police hope to complete all the necessary work soon and will make an announcement on the matter.

There are still many questions surrounding Teoh's death which remain unanswered as police continue their investigations. Mkini

COMMENTS:

From my observation, the late Mr. Teoh was thrown out of the MACC building between 9 am to 1:00pm on July 16, 2009. This is deduced from the broken window's handle near the body of Teoh where he was found. If he had jumped off the building on his own accord, then the window's handle would not be broken. Who would pull off the window's handle when he want to jump off on his own accord??? It seems to be a murder case to me. Secondly the handphone of Teoh was still in the custody of MACC which meant he was not yet discharged. MACC was lying when he said that Teoh was released at 3:45am on July 16, 2009. Was the MACC Head on duty at the material time and day? http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/7/20/nation/20090720133808&sec=nation

Let the Public decides!

To me it semmed Teoh was killed somewhere and the body "put" there to disguise as a suicide. If he had really fallen from such height, definitely there will be lots of blood around. Look at the crime scence picture, there was not a single drop of blood around!It's a very shabby job by the murderer(s)

I guess you have misjudged the photo at the scene of accident where there is a small pool of blood near his head. Apparently Teoh fell from the building. By looking at his torn trouser, it must have stuck at the window's handle before ripping it diagonally rather than vertically which indicates that he was pushed off sideway. It is my hypothesis and not a statement of against any MACC officers.
