New details have surfaced that could assist investigations into the 2013 death of tahfiz student Wan Ahmad Faris Wan Abdul Rahman, according to Attorney-General (AG) Dusuki Mokhtar.
He said the findings emerged after the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) met with lawyers representing the student’s family on Oct 1, Utusan Malaysia reported.
“Further investigations are ongoing, and the lawyer has shared several details that could help advance the case. The AGC will take appropriate action based on this information.
“I cannot disclose the details at this stage, but it can be said that the information could significantly aid the investigation,” he was quoted as saying.
Wan Ahmad Faris, a Form Four student, was found dead in a toilet at the Maahad Tahfiz Sains Nurul Aman boarding school in Kok Lanas, Kelantan, in December 2013.
The forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy initially classified the case as sudden death with no criminal elements. In June 2016, however, the coroner’s court ruled that Wan Ahmad Faris had been murdered.
On Sept 1, Wan Ahmad Faris’s family submitted a memorandum to the Kelantan government, outlining three key demands, chief among them being an explanation for the demolition of the school toilet where he was found, even though the official investigation had yet to conclude.
