The preliminary report on the second autopsy on electrician M Krishnan, who died in police custody on Jan 7, concurred with a previous result that he had succumbed to a stomach ulcer.
Lawyer Gurmit Singh Hullon , who is representing Krishnan's family, said his clients cannot accept the outcome of the second autopsy.
“We are not happy with the result and we do not accept this finding because it is the opposite to the evidence. Krishnan was assaulted, beaten and left to die without medical attention for five days,” he claimed.

The second autopsy was performed at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) by pathologist Dr K Mathiharen. This procedure was requested after the family refused to accept the outcome of the first autopsy.
Krishnan's wife P Revathi, 37, told reporters that she does not accept the latest autopsy result and is adamant that her husband died due to assault.
“I will fight this in court no matter how long it takes me. I will wait for the first and and second official post-mortem results,” she said, fighting to hold back her tears.
“We had two eyewitnesses who saw everything and there are photographs of his bruises.”

First report still not out
Gurmit said Mathiharen had told him that there were several contusions on Krishnan's body but this was not reflected in the autopsy result.
The lawyer said the family will wait for both the first and second autopsy results to be released before taking further action.
Mathiharen is expected to release the autopsy report on Feb 7.
Krishnan, 37, was arrested on Jan 3 on an alleged drug related offence. He was remanded for four days. On Jan 6, he was admitted to hospital after developing stomach complications. He was pronounced dead the next day.
The first autopsy result was conducted at the Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia concluded that Krishnan died due to stomach ulcer.
On Jan 19, both the police and Attorney-General's Chambers gave the green light for the family to seek a second autopsy, after an application was filed in court.
