KUALA LUMPUR: The family of a man killed in a shootout with police are demanding answers about the circumstances of his death and seeking information on the whereabouts of his missing wife.
Lawyer R. Sivahnanthan, who is representing the family of Sri Lankan national Janarthanan Vijayaratnam and his wife Moganambal Govindasamy, questioned how the man – who is a United Kingdom permanent resident – could have been involved in a string of house break-ins as they had been in the country for only two weeks.
He claimed the families of both Janarthanan and Moganambal in the UK were quite wealthy and they did not need to resort to robberies. He said the procedure was for an application for a remand order to be made within 24 hours and the individual must be produced in court, and if this cannot be done in that time there must be good reason for it.
