Second shooter in Aminulrasyid case

SHAH ALAM, Oct 28 — A second gun was fired by police the night Aminulrasyid Amzah was killed, a ballistics expert revealed to the Shah Alam Sessions Court today.

Shaari Desa from the Department of Chemistry (DOC) Petaling Jaya confirmed that the bullet casings police retrieved from the crime scene and gave him for testing were fired from two separate Heckler & Koch (HK) MP5 sub-machineguns.

In methodical fashion, the chemist-by-training said that a comparison of the casings in question to those retrieved from firing tests in his laboratory indicated that 13 shots were fired from the HK MP5 marked as “X” by the police, while three other shots were fired from a similar firearm labelled “Y”.

The HK MP5 A3 with adjustable buttstock labelled “X” is believed to belong to Corporal Jenain Subi, who has been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder of 14-year-old Aminulrasyid.

The identity of the policeman who fired the fixed buttstock HK MP5 A2 labelled “Y” is not known.

However, deputy public prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar told The Malaysian Insider that further evidence concerning the identity of the second gunman will be presented to the court at the next session.

Jenain, 48, a member of the Shah Alam district police patrol unit, is charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder of 14-year-old Aminulrasyid, who took a midnight joyride in a car and was allegedly mistaken for a felon on the run.

The Form Three schoolboy who would be sitting for his PMR examinations today died in the early hours of April 26 this year, believed to be between 1.10am and 2am.

He had been driving a white Proton Iswara with his best friend and neighbour, 15-year-old Muhammad Azamuddin Omar in the front passenger seat.

Their car crashed into the curb at Jalan Tarian 11/2, Section 11.

Jenain faces up to 30 years in jail and a fine if found guilty.

The trial will resume on November 9 with Shaari taking the stand once more. -The Malaysian Insider
