The judge and lawyers in the trial involving the death of 15-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah today visited the scene of the shooting in Section 11, Shah Alam.

NONE Eyewitness Zafrullah Ahmad Zainal Abidin ( in brown jacket ) gave his testimony at Jalan Tarian 11/2, where the car driven by the teen crashed after he was shot in the head by the police.

Zafrullah, who lives across the street from where the Proton Iswara crashed, had earlier testified that he heard gunshots and sirens around 1.30am on April 26, and saw the car from his second-floor window after it had crashed.

NONE Testifying today, he said that he had spotted someone - believed to be Azamuddin Omar, 15, who was in the car with the deceased - running towards Jalan Wau 11/2, about 25 feet from the Iswara.

Zafrullah was then standing on the ledge in his backyard, which is on a higher level than the crash site about 30 feet away.

azlan As his backyard does not have an exit, Zafrullah immediately went through his front gate and walked to the scene of the incident.

The court today recorded that the walk would take about five minutes. Last week, Zafrullah said he took three to four minutes to reach the crash site.

Zafrullah told the court that the driver's door was ajar, but he could not recall if the front passenger door was damaged or open.

Corporal Jenain Subi, 48, is charged with culpable homicide not amounting to the murder of the teen between 1.10am and 2am on April 26, 2010.

The charge carries a maximum of 30 years' jail and a fine on conviction.

Three to five seconds to discharge a bullet 

Back in the courtroom in the afternoon, two Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns were tendered as evidence in the trial.

The firearms, one with an adjustable butt stock and another with a fixed butt stock, were tendered during the testimony of Inspector Muhammad Radhi Abdul Hamid of the Shah Alam district police armoury section.

Muhammad Radh, who ran tests on both weapons after receiving them from the case investigating officer, said he found both to be in functioning order.

He was then quizzed on the mechanics of the firearms and method of usage by deputy public prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar.

The magazines of the firearms, Muhammad Radhi said, contained a maximum of 30 bullets, while shell casings were propelled to a distance of “about one metre” through the ejection port.

“But the final location of the casings will depend on the surface on which the casings land,” he said.  

He estimated that it would take a shooter three to five seconds to discharge a bullet, including the time taken to aim.

Weapon world's most widely used submachine gun

It is fired by supporting against the shooter’s shoulder or ribs, but can also be fired by a shooter kneeling or lying on the abdomen. The precision of the shot depends on the skill of the shooter.  

NONE Earlier, another officer with the armoury section testified that the accused, Corporal Jenain Subi ( in yellow T-shirt ), was classified as a marksman with the Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun.

The Heckler & Koch MP5 is the most widely used submachine gun in the world and is used by both the military and the police.

Muhammad Radhi is due to be cross-examined tomorrow, as the defence requested time to consult with their client and forensics consultant Amidon Anan.

Amidon once headed the police forensic department's Crime Scene Investigation Unit and had been involved in high profile cases such as the Canny Ong and Altantuya Shaariibuu murders.

Also scheduled to testify are witnesses from the chemistry department and the pathologist who  conducted the post-mortem on Aminulrasyid.
