Freedom House employee Jason Abdulla, who was recently arrested in connection to the Courtney Crum-Ewing murder investigation, was reportedly beaten by the police officers whilst in custody and was subsequently taken to two city hospitals.

Reports indicate that Abdulla claimed he was beaten by investigators as a mean of releasing information however Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum has denied those allegations.

Blanhum explained that when the doctors examined the suspect, there were no immediate signs to verify the story told by the detainee.

He told media operatives, that after Abdulla insisted that he was injured, doctors decided to place bandage on his feet.
