SEREMBAN, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- The accused in the Desa Palma improvised explosive device (IED) case has died tonight at Hospital Kuala Lumpur
Nilai police chief, Supt Johari Yahya, said 63-year-old Yeoh Hock Sun’s death was reported at 8.30 pm by officers escorting him from Kajang Prison.
“The cause of death at 8.18 pm was refractory shock, a condition in which the patient did not respond despite receiving optimal standard treatment,” he said in a statement tonight.
Earlier reports stated that police had arrested a man after a suspected IED was found following a public report of an explosion and scattered nails in the Desa Palma residential area at 7.08 am on Dec 22 last year.
The senior citizen had pleaded not guilty to five charges after being formally charged at Hospital Tuanku Ja’afar in January while undergoing treatment, before being transferred to Hospital Kuala Lumpur due to a critical condition.
