19 bullet casings scattered all over the shooting location
SHAH ALAM: Nineteen bullets were fired in the early morning car chase that ended with teenager Aminulrasyid Amzah being shot to death, the Sessions Court here was told Tuesday.
Witness Corporal Mokhtar Hussin said he photographed a total of 19 spent bullets and casings at the scene of the incident.
He was testifying in the trial of Corporal Jenain Subi, 48, who was charged with causing the death of 15-year-old Aminulrasyid at Jalan Tarian 11/2, Section 11, Shah Alam in the early hours of April 26 this year.
The charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder provides for a maximum 30-year jail sentence and liability of a fine upon conviction.
The trial began Tuesday and is expected to go on until Nov 11.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar told reporters that some 30 witnesses were expected to take the stand during the course of the trial.
The first witness to take the stand was lance corporal Mohd Sabri Salleh, 30, who was on duty at the Shah Alam police headquarters operations room on the day of the incident.
He testified that at about 1.45am, he received a request for help from a patrol car with the call sign "Selangor 589" to stop a white Proton Iswara car, which was speeding and had refused to stop.
Mohd Sabri said that shortly afterwards, another patrol car bearing the call sign "Selangor 614" radioed in saying it had spotted the Proton Iswara near the Concorde Hotel here, heading towards Bulatan Kayangan before turning back.
When asked by Mohd Dusuki whether he knew who were in Selangor 614, Mohd Sabri said he knew it was manned by Jenain and Constable Mohamad Hafizd Mohd Yusof after checking the duty roster.
He said that after failing to raise Selangor 614 over the police radio, he called Jenain on his mobile phone.
"Corporal Jenain told me that the Iswara had crashed and the driver was injured. He asked me to get an ambulance dispatched to the scene at Jalan Makyong 11/2G, Section 11, Shah Alam," said Mohd Sabri.
The second witness, detective Lance Corporal Ahmad Zamzami Abdul Wahab, testified that he photographed bullet-holes on the body of the Proton Iswara.
Ahmad Zamzami also said the rear tyres of the vehicle was punctured. He added that he took a photograph of a machete found under the passenger seat of the car.
It was reported that Aminulrasyid was shot by Jenain after he failed to stop his car when ordered to do so. With him in the car when the shooting happened was another teenager, Azamuddin Omar.
Judge Latifah Mohd Tahar presided over the trial.
Deputy public prosecutors Adilla Ahmad and Siti Rohaida Che Hamid also appeared for the prosecution while Jenain was represented by a four-man lawyer team of M. Athimulan, Salim Bashir, Halim Ashgar and K. Rajoo.
