*PRESS STATEMENT*
*HEAD OF CID SARAWAK*
On 14/12/16, a police report was received at the Sekama Police Station about a defamatory facebook posting by one person with the profile name Vernon Aji Kedit. The posting accompanied with 2 photos were in relation to the arrest of Dato' Stephen Lee Chee Kiang.
The fb account holder alleged that Dato' Stephen is not the real criminal. Instead he wrote, the government, YB and Minister are the real thieves and murderers.
The State Police is not amused with this posting. The posting appears to be belittling the hard work done by the police in tracking and bringing back the suspect to face justice. The account holder has also made false accusations against parties who are in no way connected to the murder.
We are investigating the report for an offence of defamation under section 500 of the Penal Code and section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.
We are in the process of identifying the account holder and bringing him in for questioning.
