00:00The mother of trainee cadet Shamsul Haris Shamsuddin, who died during training last month, has filed an application to exhume his body for a second post-mortem.
00:1145-year-old Ummu Haiman B. Daulatgun, through Messrs. Naran Singh and Co., filed a notice of motion at the Shah Alam High Court on Thursday, seeking a court order to compel police to carry out the exhumation.
00:24She named Inspector General of Police Datuk Seri Mohamad Khalid Ismail and Attorney General Tan Sri Mohamad Dusuki Mokhtar as respondents.
00:34In her application, she also requested that a forensics expert from Hospital Kuala conduct the second post-mortem in the presence of forensics expert Datuk Seri Dr. Bupinder Singh and her lawyer Datuk Naran Singh.
00:48She asked that the experts submit their report within a month and provide a copy to her legal team.
00:54Ummu Haiman is further calling for a special task force to investigate her son's death and for an inquest to be held.
01:01Court documents state that the initial post-mortem was carried out by a U.D. 10-grade medical officer, not a forensic expert.
01:10The family suspects criminal elements in the case, citing contradictions in the investigation and claiming they were not allowed to fully view the body while it was in the hospital's forensics department.
01:21They said the body was presented in a sealed coffin and after repeated requests, only the face was shown to them.
01:29Shamsul Haris, age 22, a University Technology Malaysia student, died on July 28 while training at the Army Combat Training Center in Ulu Tiram.
01:40Johor Police previously stated the autopsy found no signs of criminal injury, but his mother maintains there were mysterious bruises on his body and continues to press for answers.
