Police have recorded 68 witness statements in their reopened investigation into the 2013 death of tahfiz student Wan Ahmad Faris Wan Abdul Rahman, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

Saifuddin said the investigation is being conducted in response to demands by Wan Ahmad Faris’s family and the public to ensure the previous investigation was transparent and followed the set SOPs, so justice can be upheld.

“The investigation is ongoing,” he said, as quoted by FMT, in a written parliamentary reply to Encik Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PN-Pasir Mas), who asked about the full status of the reinvestigation, saying transparency was vital to avoid doubt and to ensure justice for the victim’s family.

Saifuddin said the government wanted to make it clear that all police investigations are conducted with full professionalism, free from any influence, and based on the rule of law.

The body of Form 4 student Wan Ahmad Faris was discovered by a dormitory supervisor in a toilet at the Maahad Tahfiz Sains Nurul Aman boarding school in Kok Lanas, Kelantan, on 14 December 2013.

The forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy initially classified the case as sudden death with no criminal elements.

In June 2016, however, the coroner’s court ruled that Wan Ahmad Faris had been murdered.

On 1 September this year, Wan Ahmad Faris’s family submitted a memorandum to the Kelantan government, outlining three key demands.

Chief among these was an explanation for the demolition of the toilet where he was found, even though the official investigation had yet to conclude.

Attorney-General Datuk Dusuki Mokhtar said in October new details had surfaced that could assist in the investigation, after his office met with lawyers representing the family.
