R Sanjana's family submits memo seeking probe into her alleged murder

SHAH ALAM - Family members of the late R Sanjana have submitted a memorandum to Bukit Aman, claiming that she was murdered.

Free Malaysia Today reported that her family wants the police to initiate another investigation into the 24-year-old Sanjana's death, as they believe that the police are covering up the issue.

Sanjana was found dead in her apartment in Klang last month, on June 8, the news portal reported.

Her aunt, K Indira, 69, said her family doubts that Sanjana committed suicide but believes she was murdered.

"When we saw the photographs of the scene, we suspected that she did not commit suicide. "It looked like she was killed, so we want justice," the report said.

Indira further claimed that Sanjana was stable a few days before her death.

"She was speaking in a jovial manner, talking about how she wanted to go overseas to travel.

"Also, she just bought groceries (for her home), a couple of days before they claim she had committed suicide.

"A person going to commit suicide would not do that," she said when met by reporters outside the federal police headquarters today.

According to FMT, the family was accompanied by Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) members when they submitted the memorandum to the Bukit Aman representative.

Former Kapar MP and member of PRM S Manikavasagam urged Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain to thoroughly look into the memorandum and probe the case again.

Manikavasagam also claimed that something was fishy about Sanjana's death, as multiple handphones belonging to a friend of the victim were found at her home.

"However, during the initial investigation, the handphones were returned to the father of the friend when they should have been kept as evidence.

"I urge the police to unearth the truth. We will also bring this matter up to Suhakam and the Home Ministry very soon," he said.
