5 years on the mother of the teenage boy shot by police, claims her son was brutally and unlawfully killed
FMT
SHAH ALAM: The mother of Aminulrasyid Amzah, the teenage boy who was fatally shot by the police about five years ago, told the High Court here today that she was seeking justice for his son, who she claimed was brutally and unlawfully killed at the age of 15.
In her witness statement, Norsiah Mohammad, 66, said her son had not committed any crime to justify the use of firearms on him.
She was testifying on the first day hearing of a civil suit which she and eldest daughter, Nor Azura, 45, filed against Corporal Jenain Subi, then Selangor Police Chief Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar (now Inspector-General of Police) and three others for the boy’s death.
They also named the Shah Alam District Police Chief, the Inspector-General of Police and the government as defendants.
The family is seeking nearly RM50 million in damages for Aminulrasyid’s death, which they claimed was due to Jenain’s negligence.
Jenain was found guilty of causing Aminulrasyid’s death between 1.10am and 2am on April 6, 2010 at Jalan Tarian 11/2, Section 11, Shah Alam.
The boy died of a gunshot wound in the head.
Jenain was convicted and sentenced to five years’ jail in 2011 by the Sessions Court, but on Dec 5, 2012, the Shah Alam High Court acquitted Jenain from the charge of causing the death of Aminulrasyid.
The High Court, in acquitting Jenain, ruled that he did not have the intention to cause Aminulrasyid’s death, but had shot at the car driven by the teenager with an intention to immobilise the vehicle.
Cross-examined by lawyer Zulkifly Omar, representing Jenain, Norsiah said she agreed with the lawyer that despite her son not having committed crime, but his action in running away from the police was an offence.
She also agreed with Zulkifly that Jenain did not know that the car he was chasing was being driven by a child.
When asked what would she do if the car she was driving was stopped by the police, Norsiah said she would stop the car.
The hearing before Judge Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim continues tomorrow.
