“We view this as a murder case…,” said N Surendran, the lawyer for Aminulrasyid’s family.
Aminul,15, was fatally shot by patrolling policemen after he was was believed to have reversed the car he was driving into the policemen to escape a roadblock in Section 11 Shah Alam.
The incident occurred some 100 metres away from Aminulrasyid’s house.
Speaking to reporters at Aminul’s home, Surendran said Aminul’s case was similar to that of Norizan Salleh, 30, who was shot five times by police last October and survived.It was reported that Norizan and three others were travelling in a car on Middle Ring Road II here when police forced the vehicle to a stop and opened fire.She had reportedly said she was also dragged out and kicked despite her cries for help. She suffered two broken ribs in addition to the gunshot wounds.
'Take sterner action'
A bullet lodged close to her heart was removed, but she has lost the use of her right hand.
Describing Aminulrasyid’s shooting case as heavy, Surendran said it was not enough for the police to issue a statement that they were investigating the matter.
“They (police) should take sterner action. We are appealing to them to act against the personnel involved.
“I also hope the police and the Home Minister do not show the same indifferent attitude they showed towards Norizan,” Surendran said.
He said his team was preparing its case on Aminulrasyid to be filed in court.
“We are now discussing and collating details of the incident,” said Surendran.
Meanwhile, police will record today the statement of a witness to the shooting incident.
The witness, who is said to have been with Aminulrasyid, will give his statement at the Selangor police headquarters in Section 9, Shah Alam.
Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo said he will represent and accompany him.
