Aminulrasyid died at the scene, says witness

SHAH ALAM: A medical officer at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) told the Sessions Court here today that the 15-year-old boy who was allegedly shot by a policeman died at the scene of the incident.
Muhamad Sahid Abdul Karim, 30, who is attached to the hospital's ambulance unit, said he arrived at the scene at 2.23am and confirmed the boy's death after conducting several checks on him.

The ninth prosecution's witness said that prior to that he received a call at 2.02am from the call centre to inform that there was an accident involving a car crashing into a tree at Jalan Makyong in Section 11 here.

"However, I failed to find the place and called back the call centre to get the exact location of the accident," he said in the trial of Corporal Jenain Subi who is charged with causing the death of 15-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah last April 26.

Jenain, 48, is charged with committing the offence at Jalan Tarian 11/2 at Section 11 here between 1.10am and 2am on April 26 this year.

He is charged under Section 304 (a) of the Penal Code, which provides for jail up to 30 years and a fine, if convicted.

Muhamad Sahid said when he arrived at the scene, he went to inspect the boy, who was clad in shorts and T-shirt.

"I found that there was no heart beat and he was not breathing," he added.

However, he said he was prevented by policemen there from examining the boy further after finding that there was blood stain on his gloves.

"When I wanted to turn over the body, a policeman prevented me from changing the position of the victim's body," he added.

A marksman


Muhamad Sahid said he asked a policeman there for the boy's identification and was told to wait for the arrival of the investigating officer, but from his observation, the victim was a teenager.

He said he informed the police of the boy's death before leaving the scene.

"I could not identify the victim's face because I did not see his face after being prevented by the police," he added.

Meanwhile, 10th prosecution's witness, Sargeant Mohd Sani Mohd Hassan, the Shah Alam police armoury chief, told the court that Jenain was classified as a marksman when using the Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun.

He said this was based on the points obtained by Jenain at a shooting training last May 13 and 15 where he scored 90 points out of 100 for submachine gun and 70 points for pistol training.

"Based on the score, I could say Jenain is a marksman," he added.

Earlier, eighth prosecution's witness, Sargeant Jamaluddin Alias, 50, from the Shah Alam police who was responsible for drawing up the duty roster on the night Aminulrasyid was killed, told the court that a patrol policeman was required to carry a machine gun.

Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar prosecuted, while Jenain was represented by lawyer A Athimulan.

The hearing before judge Latifah Mohd Tahar continues tomorrow.
