Gobind says AG kept proof from Teoh inquest

SHAH ALAM, Aug 9 — Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo today accused the Attorney-General’s Chambers of withholding evidence which may have “changed the course of the Teoh Beng Hock inquest”.

The Teoh family’s lawyer had earlier spoken to coroner Azmil Munthapa Abas privately before storming out of the meeting.

“We are not going to sit and take this blow without reacting,” Gobind told reporters.

He also lashed out at Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail’s conduct and reminded him that the case is attracting international attention.

“The AG must explain,” he said.

The Puchong MP explained that the evidence became available last October, just three months after the DAP political aide was found dead.

“They had it even before a second post mortem was carried out on Teoh’s body but they never told us.”
