PETALING JAYA, March 3 — Two Members of Parliament claimed today that of the six suspected criminals shot dead by police in Kulim, Kedah recently, one was a partially-blind man while another suffered from mental problems.
The lawmakers also claimed to have evidence to show all six men had bullet holes at the top of their heads.
Kapar MP S Manikavasagam and Teluk Intan MP M Manogaran made the allegations of police misconduct at a press conference here today.
Manikavasam said of the six who were gunned downed, one had mental problems, another was partially blind while a third was a middle-aged-man who was already 51-years-old.
“These men were known to every one in the town and were not hiding out as claimed by police.”
Manogaran alleged all six had bullet holes on top of their heads.
“We have the pictures to prove this and we will disclose it to the press soon.”
Previously it was reported that the six suspected armed robbers were killed during a shoot-out at a house in Kampung Kemunting, Karangan, in Kulim.
The dead were accused of being involved in a series of armed robberies on goldsmith shops in several states.
A police team from Bukit Aman reportedly identified themselves to the six but were shot at and they retaliated.
Two pistols were found on the men and two of the dead had previous convictions.
The dead were identified as R.Elangovan, 38, and L S Santana, 34, R Pannir, 28, S Vadivelan, 29, S Gurusamy, 50, and R Dilip Kumar, 20.
Four women, aged between 21 and 28-years-old, were arrested during the incident.
