‘DAP knows Teoh committed suicide’
By Patrick Lee, Free Malaysia Today
KUALA LUMPUR: DAP chose to withdraw from the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Teoh Beng Hock’s death because it knew that he had committed suicide, claimed an independent MP today.
Wee Choo Keong alleged that DAP “inside sources” informed him that Teoh, a former DAP political aide, had killed himself and was not murdered.
“According to my sources, DAP is afraid of the RCI’s outcome, because they know about this case,” the Wangsa Maju MP told a press conference at the Konsensus Bebas office here.
“They knew this was a case involving suicide,” added the former DAP and PKR member.
Wee’s startling revelation comes amid the ongoing inquiry to establish Teoh’s cause of death, after an inquest held into the case saw the coroner ruling out both suicide and homicide.
Teoh was found dead in July, 2009, after being interrogated overnight by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officials at Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam.
