: The Court of Appeal here today dismissed the police and government’s appeals to set aside the RM450,000 damages awarded to a widow and her son over the death of her husband in police custody seven years ago.
He said Justice Lee had also ruled that the injuries sustained by Vimala’s husband M.Segar were irresistible in the light of the evidence by a forensic pathologist. Haresh said in the court’s decision, Justice Lee had said the police had refused to provide close circuit television footage on what happened to Segar at the Port Dickson lock-up and interrogation room.On Sept 8, last year, the High Court in Seremban found the defendants had been negligent as they failed to ensure the safety of Segar while in their custody.
In their writ of summons filed in 2020, they named Rozek Azmi, the Port Dickson district police chief, the Port Dickson police station chief, the Negeri Sembilan police chief, the Inspector-General of Police and the government as defendants.
