Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail today classified the death of 22-year-old police detainee Kugan Ananthan as murder. It is learnt that investigations are underway. Earlier, Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan said that a full investigation will be carried out into Kugan's death. According to him, a thorough probe will be undertaken although the post-mortem report found that Kugan had died due to fluid in his lungs. "We will not cover up anything," he told reporters in Kuching. Kugan was arrested on Jan 15 in connection with several car theft cases. He died on Tuesday at the Taipan police station in Subang Jaya. His death resulted in a massive public outcry, with various quarters accusing the police of foul play...Earlier, some 50 people held a short protest near the entrance of the federal police headquarters.They chanted, 'We will fight till the end' and 'Polis Pembunuh' (police are killers).

Ok, at least, a ray of hope here - the case classified as murder and the personal promise by IGP that police would not cover up anything. The public is certainly watching the police on this case.
