IPOH: The High Court has ruled that naval cadet officer J. Soosaimanicckam ’s death in 2018 was a homicide, due to officers denying him medical treatment.
Justice Abdul Wahab found that Soosaimanicckam’s untimely death from pulmonary oedema, caused by leptospirosis, was linked to Navy officers not allowing the deceased to seek medical help. The deceased was 27 years old at the time. “Pursuant to Para of the Chief Justice’s Direction No.2 and pursuant to Section 337 of the Criminal Procedure Code , to decide who is the person criminally concerned in the cause of death,” he said.
In June last year, the Sessions Court, which sat as a Coroner’s Court, returned an open verdict in the inquest into the death of the cadet after coroner Ainul Shahrin Mohamad revealed that the cause of Soosaimanicckam’s death on May 19, 2018, was due to pulmonary oedema .
