KLANG: The families of three youngsters who were gunned down by police about 11 years ago in Glenmarie, Shah Alam, have been granted about half a million ringgit in damages each by the court.
Shah Alam High Court judge Justice Datuk Khadijah Idris awarded damages amounting to RM1,519,200 in the judgment yesterday.
According to lawyer Zaid Malek, who represented the families, the outcome was timely after a long wait by the bereaved families.
“After almost 11 years, the families of the Glenmarie shooting victims finally received a modicum of justice for the immense trauma and loss they endured due to the actions of the police,’’ Zaid said in a statement.
