Why no prosecutions in Bentong custodial death? Lawyer asks AGC


Lawyer M Visvanathan has questioned the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) on why those responsible for the death of G Jestus Kevin five years ago have yet to be prosecuted.

Visvanathan, who is also chairperson of rights group Eliminating Deaths and Abuse in Custody Together (Edict), told a press conference today that there are “no reasonable excuses” for the AGC’s inaction since the Kuantan Sessions Court last month ruled that Jestus’ death was caused by the actions of others.
