PUTRAJAYA, 7 July 2026 — The Attorney-General (AG) must explain the prolonged delay in taking action in the fatal shooting of G. Logeswaran, M. Puspanathan and M. Puvaneswaran in Durian Tunggal, Melaka, said DAP National Chairman Gobind Singh Deo in a statement here today.
It has now been eight months since the incident occurred on November 24 last year, yet no definitive legal action or arrests have
taken place.
This delay is highly questionable given that the police themselves reclassified the case as murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code in December last year.
“The police do not reclassify cases, especially to serious capital ofences such as homicide, unless there is a solid evidential basis to do so. The fact that the enforcement agency itself determined that the threshold for a murder investigation was met indicates that there is evidence requiring urgent court action,” Gobind, who is also the Digital Minister, said.
There is also now evidence of an audio recording and post mortem reports which have been produced to assist investigations.
Any delay in prosecution can impact the quality of evidence. As time passes, witness recollections fade, physical evidence can degrade and procedural gaps emerge.
Calling the AG to take immediate action, Gobind said the delays would create unnecessary vulnerabilities, which would be highly detrimental to the case.
“The AG, as the custodian of justice, is duty-bound to act swiftly and decisively where the evidence points to a criminal ofence. Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done.”
“The victims’ families have waited eight months for justice, and public confidence in the criminal justice system is at stake,” he said, adding that he will raise the issue at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, July 8th.
