The police have submitted the investigation papers on the fatal shooting of Aminulrasyid Amzah, 15, to the deputy public prosecutor, said Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan.

He said the police welcomed an inquest into the incident to establish the truth and the cause of the incident.

"The investigating officer of the case had submitted the investigation papers to the DPP today for further action.

"I asked for an inquiry to be conducted first to see whether there was justification in the police's action," he told reporters after visiting the scene of the shooting at Jalan 11/2G in Section 11 here today.

Earlier, he was briefed on how the events had occurred.

Musa said he was told by the chief investigating officer that Aminulrasyid was pursued by the police in a six-km high speed chase before the shooting.

"We are saddened by this incident. You should stop when ordered by the police.

"Even if you have no licence you should not fear. At most you will be fined. Once again, let me remind you, do not run away as it will create suspicion," he said.

On the outcry over the incident, Musa said police were only doing their job.

The presence of the car at 2am in a neighbourhood where numerous complaints of house break-ins were received had raised police suspicion, he said.

"I have suggested that the government equip each police patrol car with a video camera to record incidents during patrols, to protect the police as well as the public.

"Unfortunately there was no sufficient allocation to implement the proposal although we have submitted it since 2006," he said, declining to reveal further information about the case saying it was still under investigation.

"I, too, want justice for all, and to the deceased... so let us together seek justice," he said.

He called on all quarters not to politicise the case and said that police would investigate the matter in a transparent manner.
