Speaking to Citi News, the lawyer for the family, George Asamaney said the family will request for an independent autopsy if it is not satisfied with the outcome by the police.
“Last Thursday we were in court and the deceased looked so healthy and vibrant and there was nothing to show he was suffering from any illness. Then all of a sudden, we got that information yesterday. We do not know how that came about.”
“We thought about it that the boy was coerced to make that confession. Secondly, the circumstances under which the boy died is not understandable. We learnt that they are going to do the autopsy. If we ascertain the cause of death, and we are not satisfied, we will make sure that another one is done by an independent body.”
