Deputy Inspector-General of Police Mazlan Mansor said the investigation was still ongoing despite the release of individuals linked to the case.

“It’s not just them, maybe there are others that we may need (to investigate). Let us investigate,” he told reporters after attending an event at the Royal Malaysian Police College today.

In December last year, police detained four men aged between 21 and 24 over the death of Adib, who succumbed to injuries sustained while on duty to put out fires started by rioters near the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Seafield, Subang.

The four were later released after their remand expired.

Last week, the Coroner’s Court ruled that more than two unidentified persons had killed Adib in November last year.

The conclusion was reached based on testimonies from witnesses throughout the 41-day inquest into Adib’s death.

Mazlan today said there is no time frame for the police to complete their investigation.

“We will study all the notes from the inquest proceedings.

“Maybe there is a new dimension in the investigation that we will need to look at and we will take it from there,” he said.

Attorney-General (AG) Tommy Thomas had clarified that police must complete their probe and identify the perpetrators before bringing up charges in court.

“We have to study the investigation papers, review the recommendations of the police and charge the individuals concerned,” Thomas said on Monday.

Meanwhile, at the same event today, Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador said the police had made mistakes in the past.

“Definitely there were a lot of mistakes,” he said, adding that slogans by police in the past had attempted to mislead the public.
