The Teoh Beng Hock Trust for Democracy says the 2010 inquest ruling by judge Azmil Muntapha Abas is now suspect. FMTNews AzmilMuntaphaAbas TeohBengHock

Azmil Muntapha Abas is facing a charge of accepting a RM17,500 bribe in a case involving illegal migrant workers.

The Teoh Beng Hock Trust for Democracy said the government should conduct a probe “on the possible undue influence and monetary benefits” in the 2010 inquest presided by Sessions Court judge Azmil Muntapha Abas, who then issued an open verdict. Azmil, a judge at the Kuala Kubu Baru Sessions Court, was charged early this month with accepting a bribe amounting RM17,500 in the release of undocumented migrant workers.An appeals court overturned the verdict in 2014, ruling that Teoh’s death was caused by a fall as a result of, or accelerated by, an unlawful act or acts of persons unknown.
