KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has ordered the government and police to pay a sum of over RM37 million to the family of the missing Pastor Raymond Koh over the state’s involvement in his abduction.
Justice Su Tiang Joo held that one or more of the defendants, who are both current and former police officers, were involved in Koh’s abduction and had acted under an “order” eight years ago.
The judge also awarded RM250,000 in costs.
Koh was abducted on Feb 13, 2017 while he was driving along Jalan SS4B/10 in Petaling Jaya. During the trial, the court heard that five masked men in black military outfits had pulled Koh out of his car.
Koh’s wife, Susanna Liew, filed a lawsuit against the police and government over the state’s involvement in his disappearance and the manner in which the authorities probed his disappearance.
