“It became imperative to find out from him if he is licensed to carry a pump action, he was still being questioned at the station when he slumped. Whatever could have been the cause, it is autopsy that will determine the actual cause of his death.
“We must clear the fact that he didn’t die at the police station. He slumped, that was why he was rushed to the hospital, it was at the hospital that he died.
“In a situation like this, the first part of the investigation will require that autopsy be done. It will be conducted by relevant doctors and that is all I can say to you ZENITHBLOG.com.”
