Police said today they are just following orders from the Attorney-General's Chambers on re-investigating Teoh Beng Hock's death under Section 342 of the Penal Code, which deals with wrongful confinement.

Asked to comment on the reclassification of the police investigation, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Mazlan Mansor said police couldn't comment further as to why the re-investigation was not being carried out under Section 304, which covers culpable homicide.
