SHAH ALAM: A policeman has been charged in the Shah Alam Sessions Court with the shooting of teenager Aminulrasyid Amzah that involved a six-kilometre high-speed car chase in Section 11 here last month.
Kpl Jenain Subi, who claimed trial, was charged under Section 304(a) of the Penal Code for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
He was charged at about 12.15 pm yesterday in front of judge M. Gunalan.
Kpl Jenain, 48, who is attached to the Shah Alam police headquarters, is accused of committing the offence between 1.10am and 2.00am at Jalan Tarian 11/2, Section 11 here on April 26.
Kpl Jenain faces a maximum jail term of 30 years and can also be fined. Judge Gunalan set bail at RM10,000 and June 10 for mention of the case. Kpl Jenain later posted bail.
Earlier, DPP Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar asked for a RM35,000 bail due to the gravity of the offence.
Kpl Jenain's counsel Salim Bashir argued that bail was merely to ensure attendance in court and should not be a form of punishment.
He added that Kpl Jenain was still a serving policeman and would not abscond.
Salim told the court that the accused earned a monthly salary of RM3,000 while his teaÂÂcher wife took home about RM1,800 monthly.
Kpl Jenain, who joinedthe police force in 1985, had served at the Shah Alam Court complex from 1996 to 2008. He has a clean record.
He has four children, three of whom are still schooling.
Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, in a statement later, said the decision to charge Kpl Jenain was made after he had considered the evidence gathered in the investigation.
“I have also instructed my officers to look into the culpability of the rest of theteam and will not hesitate to prefer charges against them if the evidence warranted it,” he said.
Aminulrasyid, 14, was shot dead by police after he allegedly tried to reverse and ram the car he was driving into the policemen who were pursuing him.
However, this version has been denied by his friend Azamuddin Omar, 15, who was with him in the car on the night of the incident.
