The key witness in the police shooting of Aminulrasyid Amzah was called in today for questioning by the police for the third time.

NONE Azamuddin Omar, 15, accompanied by his lawyers N Surendran and Latheefa Koya, was quizzed for about 30 minutes this evening.

Speaking to reporters later, Surendran said most of the questions posed by the police were repeats of what had been asked previously.

There were, however, several “interesting” new questions posed.

Among such questions, said Surendran, was: “Was the last shot fired before, or after the crash?”

Commenting on this, Surendran said, “The witnessed confirmed that the last shot was fired when the car was still moving, which contradicts the police version of events.

"This is the third time for this young boy to have been questioned by the police, and he has been consistent and told the same thing.”

Since Azamuddin has provided information to the police three times, Surendran said the onus is now on the police to take action against those who shot Aminulrasyid.

"The manner of questioning has been professional, but we feel it is sufficient. What should the authorities do now? They should prosecute the person involved," he said.

Royal Commission a must

Surendran later reiterated the family’s insistence on a Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate the incident independently.

He said the family was not satisfied with the Home Ministry’s ‘special panel’ to oversee police investigations into the matter.

“We don’t know what the objective of the panel is. It appears to be a mere publicity stunt. We want a Royal Commission,” he said.

Surendran said further that the panel cannot be deemed independent, given the membership on the panel of Deputy Home Minister Abu Seman Yusop and former Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Haniff Omar.

"Haniff was the IGP during the Operasi Lalang ... while Abu Seman is in charge of the police. How can we expect them to be independent?"
