2 shot dead by police in Klang - there must be a public inquiry into these 'shoot to kill' cases

Another 'shoot to kill' incident? Or are these really cases of extrajudicial killing?

2 ALLEGED robbers shot dead - we really need a mechanism which will determine:-

A - That these persons were robbers ...- armed robbers, involved in the said robbery as alleged (Burden of proof shall be beyond reasonable doubt same as any criminal charge).

B- That there was no reasonable way for the police to have arrested the said 2 without having to kill them.

For people who die in police custody - there already is an unwritten policy that there will be a public inquiry into the death - i.e. the inquest conducted by the Coroner.

What about for those that are shot dead by the police and other enforcement officers?

Maybe, the Bar Council or SUHAKAM can look into this and make the necessary proposals.
