Fresh probe paper into 2013 death of tahfiz student handed to prosecutors
Wan Ahmad Faris Wan Abdul Rahman's body was found by a dormitory supervisor on Dec 14, 2013. (TikTok pic) PETALING JAYA : The fresh investigation paper into the death of a tahfiz student in 2013 has been referred to the Kelantan deputy public prosecutor's office, home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said today. Saifuddin confirmed that police had reopened their investigation into the death of Form 4 student Wan Ahmad Faris Wan Abdul Rahman after the Kota Bharu coroner's court ruled in June 2016 that he was murdered by an unidentified person. He did not specify when the fresh investigation was launched. 'The police recorded the statements of 14 witnesses, including taking further statements from the chemist and pathologist who conducted the autopsy on the deceased. 'The investigation paper into the sudden death report was submitted to the Kelantan deputy public prosecutor's office on April 28 for further action,' he said in a written parliamentary reply. He was responding to a question from Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PN-Pasir Mas), who wanted to know if the ministry was willing to open a fresh probe into Wan Faris's death. Wan Faris's body was found by a dormitory supervisor on Dec 14, 2013, after he detected an odour coming from a toilet at the dormitory. An autopsy classified it as sudden death and ruled out any criminal involvement. However, a coroner's court ruled in June 2016 that Wan Faris was murdered by an unidentified person. In November, the victim's parents, Wan Abdul Rahman Wan Yaacub, 73, and Ruhani Hussin, 69, said they were informed by the police in August 2023 that the investigation into their son's case had been classified as 'no further action' since September 2020. The Attorney-General's Chambers had found that the testimonies of all witnesses failed to identify those responsible, and the evidence was purely speculative. The couple urged the AGC to reopen the case, and also sent a letter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim pleading for a fresh investigation.

Stabbing death of Prabha Arun Kumar in 2015 ruled a 'targeted killing' by coroner
A coroner has found the death of a 41-year-old mother in Western Sydney a decade ago was the result of homicide committed by an unknown person, insisting police continue their investigation into her "targeted killing". Indian national Prabha Arun Kumar died after being stabbed multiple times in the neck by a person dressed in black while walking home alone through Parramatta on the night of March 7, 2015. Ms Kumar was then taken to Westmead Hospital but died the following day. The inquest heard that at the time of the attack Ms Kumar was on the phone with her husband, Arun Kumar, who was in India. The coroner was previously told the husband had been having an affair, had just renewed his wife's life insurance, and changed the PIN on her bank account only an hour before her stabbing. The court heard that police were still investigating whether Mr Kumar may have organised the hit on his wife. Mr Kumar has never been charged in relation to his wife's death, and the person who carried out the attack has never been identified. The mother-of-one was seen on multiple security camera's catching two trains and walking through Parramatta in the lead-up to the attack. CCTV footage released by the court shows an unidentifiable figure dressed in black captured on a resident's security cameras near where the attack took place on the same night. Handing down his findings on Tuesday, Deputy State Coroner David O'Neil said that police considered the most likely explanation for Ms Kumar's death was a "targeted killing". Mr O'Neil referred the case to the NSW Police unresolved homicide squad to continue their investigation.
