(Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : The authorities have found no sign that the late Universiti Teknologi Malaysia cadet Syamsul Haris Shamsudin was physically abused, says defence minister Khaled Nordin. Khaled said preliminary findings from a post-mortem revealed no injuries caused by physical abuse on Syamsul's body, although the complete findings of the autopsy will only be out in two months. He added that the cops had finished taking the statements of witnesses, including Syamsul's trainers and fellow cadets, Utusan Malaysia reported. 'What I can say is that investigations are going according to SOPs, while first aid was administered to the victim during the incident,' Khaled said. Syamsul, 22, the eldest of three siblings, died on July 28 under unclear circumstances while undergoing Reserve Officer Training Unit training at the Army Combat Training Centre in Ulu Tiram, Johor. He began training on July 26 and was expected to finish on Aug 3. The family previously called for a transparent and fair investigation, including a second autopsy, alleging that he had bruises on his body and injuries consistent with physical assault. On Monday, higher education minister Zambry Abd Kadir said a special committee investigating the victim's death was expected to complete its report soon.

Ukrainian instructors killed by cadet in training centre shooting
Military-age men are blocked from leaving Ukraine and face being drafted to the front. (AFP pic) KYIV : A Ukrainian military recruit shot dead two instructors at a training centre in the north of the country, police said today. The incident, which occurred yesterday, highlighted the divisiveness of army recruitment and mobilisation in Ukraine, which is struggling to attract soldiers more than three years into the Russian invasion. 'Yesterday, the police received information that during shooting practice at a training centre, a cadet fired shots from an automatic weapon at military instructors. As a result of their wounds, the two soldiers died,' the police in the northern Chernigiv region said in a statement. The cadet was detained and is facing up to 15 years in prison. Russia and Ukraine have sustained heavy losses – estimated by western intelligence and independent analysts to be well into the tens of thousands on each side – through more than three years of gruelling warfare. Mobilisation is unpopular in Ukraine, where military-age men are blocked from leaving the country and face being drafted to the front.
