KUCHING: Police investigation into an incident in which a 16-year-old girl claimed that she was raped by a male detainee while being held at the Miri police station lockup on Jan 9 found that a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera footage was unavailable.
Sarawak police commissioner Datuk Aidi Ismail said he had instructed his deputy Datuk Fisol Salleh to coordinate the internal investigation and the results would be known this week.
“There is a CCTV camera installed in the lockup, but it does not have recording function and it can only be monitored by personnel on duty. I have also instructed the investigation team to look into it,” he said at the press conference on the achievement of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) Sarawak contingent for the year 2020 here today.
