Governor casts doubt on dead migrant autopsy

MALANG, East Java: East Java Deputy Governor Saifullah Yusuf said he did not believed the autopsy result provided by the Malaysian government on three migrant workers from Madura.

Police in Kuala Selangor, Malaysia, shot dead the workers - Musdi, Abdul Sanu and Muhlis - on March 16, saying that they attempted to attack when police cracked down on them for an alleged robbery.

Saifullah said his suspicions were aroused after reading a report that said the bodies showed injuries consistent with blunt force trauma, an indicator of having been beaten. - JP
