Malaysian police defend strip
Malaysia's deputy police chief has defended the strip-search policy that caused public outcry when a woman was secretly filmed naked in police custody.
Musa Hassan, the deputy inspector general of police, said such strip-search procedures were also used by authorities in countries such as the United States and Australia to ensure that suspects were not concealing banned objects such as weapons and drugs.
"It is merely a practice, and this practice is accepted," Musa said on Wednesday during a public inquiry into the case of a woman who was allegedly forced to disro... Read more

Second police officer admits h
A second police officer who interviewed Robert Pickton the day after Pickton was arrested for murder admits he lied several times during the interview.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Bill Fordy told jurors Wednesday he lied "on a number of occasions." Fordy said he lied about his mother dying of cancer, about his brother having a degree and when he told Pickton he wouldn't lie to him.
It was an effort to build a rapport, he testified.
"People are more likely to speak to you if they like you," he told Crown prosecutor Satinder Sidhu.
Fordy also acknowledged he made several "misstatements" during his part of the interrogation of Pickton.
The officer told Pickton investigators found Pickton's DNA on top of the DNA of Sereena Abotsway, one of the six women Pickton is standing trial for murdering.
But Fordy testified it wasn't possible to differentiate between one set of DNA and another. It was "intermixed."
"Was that intentional?" Sidhu asked.
"No, it was a misstatement," Fordy said.
Fordy also told the Crown that during the 11-hour interview, he had no concerns about Pickton being tired or that Pickton was in tears.
Pickton appeared to understand all of Fordy's questions.
"He asked for clarification and he corrected me on a number of occasions," Fordy said.
Pickton is charged with killing 26 women from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and is currently standing trial on six of those counts.
On Tuesday, defence lawyer Peter Ritchie hammered away at another of the officers involved in the interview, suggesting that police repeatedly lied to Pickton and badgered him into exhaustion. The officer denied it.
Pickton stared at Fordy while Fordy testified and took notes on the legal pad on his knee.
At one point, Pickton handed a note to a sheriff and it was delivered to one of his lawyers.
