Cop claims trial to Aminuralrasyid’s death

SHAH ALAM, May 10 — Police corporal Jenain Subi today claimed trial for shooting Aminulrasyid Amzah, whose death sparked an uproar over the number of police shootings in recent years.


The 48-year-old officer was charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court under Section 304 of the Penal Code for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years’ imprisonment.

Judge M. Gunalan set bail at RM10,000 and fixed June 10 for mention.

Aminulrasyid was shot dead by police after a 6km car chase on April 26 after, as police claimed, he tried to reverse and ram the vehicle he was driving into policemen in Section 11, Shah Alam.

The schoolboy’s friend, Azamuddin Omar, 15, who was with him in the car, has denied the claim.
