SHAH ALAM, Aug 19 — The family of Pua Bee Choon, who was gunned down during a police chase in January this year, filed a summons today to compel the police to reveal identity of the shooter.

The family filed the summons under section 107A of the Criminal Procedure Code, in a bid to compel the police to give them the results and outcome of their investigation into the 22-year-old housewife’s death.

The family’s legal counsel, Ng Chung Yee, said the results of the ballistics and chemical tests must at the very least be made known to the deceased’s husband.

“We know more than 20 bullets were fired at the car. What were the intentions when the shots were released?” he said before filing the summons at the Shah Alam High Court today.

Pua’s husband, Foo Voon Kong, said he does not know how he can find closure to his wife’s sudden death when the police continue to keep him in the lurch.

“They have not told me anything. The most that I have been told was that the case was still being investigated, but it has been months since then.

“I have been thinking about my wife all the time. How do I get over it when I don’t know the reason she died or who caused her death? I need to know who shot her,” said Foo, who brought along their two children, Evelyn, 4, and Charles, 3.

Klang MP Charles Santiago, who has been assisting Foo pursue his wife’s case, said the police’s handling of Pua’s case shows that they are not interested in investigating the matter.

“I’ve written them four letters, not to mention the many phone calls made to seek an appointment to discuss the case. They instead told me that they have no reason to tell me anything and that they will only give updates to the victim’s husband and family.

“But why is it taking the police more than six months to identify the suspect? You cannot shoot someone and get away with it. This is in the public’s interest and this trigger-happy behaviour has got to stop,” he said.

Ng noted that they expect the High Court to make a decision on their summons within the next two months. Should they be successful, the police would then have seven days from the date of the court’s decision to give a full reply or be held in contempt of court.

Pua was shot dead during a car chase in Taman Sentosa on January 18. It had been earlier reported that police were forced to shoot at the car that Pua was travelling in after the driver, Song Chee Chai, 31, had attempted to ram into a police vehicle.

Song has since been arrested and faces four charges including possession of a fake weapon and a stolen vehicle.
