Fatal food poisoning: Cops record statements from 22 so far as probe continues


GOMBAK: The police have recorded statements from 22 people to date following the fatal food poisoning case that killed two after a school event here.

The latest statements were recorded from seven individuals, including the headmaster and teachers from the school in Sungai Chinchin.

The investigation paper will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor after the full autopsy report is released, which is estimated to be in a month's time
