Loud chanting outside the Coroner's Court in Shah Alam interrupted Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin's press conference following the court ruling that firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim's death was a result of criminal act.

The court also ruled today that Adib's death was also caused by the failure of police to act at the time of the incident.

In delivering her judgement, Coroner Rofiah Mohamad said that the court concluded that the blunt chest trauma sustained by Adib during the incident was not self-inflicted or an accident, but was caused by two to three unidentified persons who pulled the victim out of the fire department EMRS van, hitting him and dragging him.
