The suits were over the circulation of pictures on the post-mortem on Nurin and the alleged defamatory statement that he lost his daughter because of involvement with "Ah Long" or loan sharks. Jazimin, 34, filed the suits at the Civil High Court registry.
Jazimin Abdul Jalil, (left) father of Nurin Jazlin with his lawyer Akbardin Abdul Kader (right) filed two suits against the police and the government.
For the negligence suit, he is seeking general, exemplary and aggravated damages, interest, cost and other reliefs deemed fit by the court but did not specify the amount. He named the Inspector-General of Police, Selangor police chief, Petaling Jaya district police chief and the government of Malaysia as defendants.
In the defamation suit, he is seeking RM2 million in general damages, exemplary and aggravated damages and damages for tarnishing his reputation.
He also wants an injunction to restrain the defendants from further spreading the alleged defamation, both orally and in writing in the media and an apology in the local newspapers and a withdrawal of the statement.
Jazimin, who was with his lawyer, Akbardin Abdul Kader, and brother, Jasni, named Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar, the Inspector-General of Police and the government as defendants in the defamation suit.
Nurin went missing on Aug 20 last year after she went to the night market near her home in Section 1, Wangsa Maju here. He body was found stuffed in a bag 27 days later.
Jazimin said he filed the suits to clear his name and correct the misconception given to the pulbic that he lost his second child because of dealings with loan sharks.
He was also disappointed with the police for their negligence which resulted in photos of the post-mortem on Nurin being circulated and questioned why no one had been charged so far.
Jazimin, a worker with a security company, claimed in the negligence suit that several photos on the post-mortem, which he gave to the defendants for police investigation, were circulated to the public via e-mail in September last year.
He lodged a police report on Oct 9, asking the police to stop the circulation by whatever means because the photos were for police investigation into his daughter's abduction and murder. -- BERNAMA
