Police reopen probe into tahfiz student's 2013 death
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have reopened the investigation into the death of tahfiz student Wan Ahmad Faris, whose body was found in a school dormitory toilet in 2013, following a coroner's ruling that the teenager did not die by suicide. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, in a written reply to Pasir Mas Member of Parliament Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, said that Kelantan police began reinvestigating the case after the Kota Bharu Coroner's Court in 2015 ruled out suicide and concluded that the death was caused by another individual. "Following the ruling, police recorded statements from 14 witnesses, including extended interviews with a Chemistry Department officer and the forensic pathologist who conducted the post-mortem on the deceased," he said. He added that the investigation paper, classified as a Sudden Death Report (SDR), was resubmitted to the Kelantan deputy public prosecutor's office today via the General Crime and Public Order Unit (Kujaka) for further review and action. Wan Ahmad Faris was found dead under suspicious circumstances in a school toilet in December 2013, sparking public concern and calls for a thorough investigation. The case resurfaced following the coroner's findings, with the victim's family and civil society groups urging authorities to pursue justice.
