The accused in the case involving the death of 15-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah used 21 of the 100 bullets he was given on the night the teen was shot.

NONE According to corporal Ismail Daud ( left ), who is in charge of distributing weapons from the armoury at the Section 11 police station in Shah Alam, the accused, corporal Jenain Subi, was provided 100 bullets for his duty from 10pm on April 25 to 6am the following morning.

Aminulrasyid was shot dead between 1.10am to 2am on April 26 following a police chase.

“I counted the bullets when Jenain returned the weapon at 6.42am on April 26, and found that the magazine which was attached to the weapon had only four bullets left," he said, referring to the station diary.

Each magazine for the Heckler and Koch MP5 sub-machine gun handed to Jenain was filled with 25 bullets. The other three magazines were unused, said Ismail.

Ismail also testified that he had asked Jenain if he had fired shots.

"Jenain said 'yes', but he did not know how many shots were fired."

On Oct 12, the court was told that 19 bullet casings were found at the scene of the incident.

Malkeet returned all 100 bullets

According to the witness, corporal Malkeet Singh, who is from the Section 11 station and was involved in the chase, was also handed a Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun and 100 9mm bullets for the same shift as Jenain.

But Malkeet had returned all 100 bullets, said Ismail.

During cross-examination by defence counsel Salim Bashir, Ismail said that he did not write down that Malkeet had returned all 100 bullets given to him at the beginning of the latter’s shift.

He also agreed with the suggestion that he had made an “assumption” that all 100 bullets were returned.

However, re-examined by the prosecution, he explained the procedure required that a note is made in the station diary only if the number of items returned were different from the total handed out, and that he had counted all 100 bullets returned by Malkeet.

Ismail also testified that the 9mm bullets handed to both Malkeet and Jenain do not have serial numbers and cannot be differentiated from each other.

Expert: Likely to miss target in high-speed chase

Earlier today, witness Muhammad Radhi Abdul Hamid from the armoury division said that it is possible for a shooter to miss a target in certain conditions.

Radhi agreed with the defence’s suggestion that these conditions include uneven roads and high-speed chases involving a moving target.

azlan He also said that the weight of the firearm could affect the accuracy of the shot, and while he could not give an estimate as to its weight, agreed that the MP5 is a heavy gun.

However, when re-examined by the prosecution, the firearms expert said that this was only his opinion and that he had never shot at a moving target during a high-speed chase.

On May 10, Jenain, 48, pleaded not guilty to causing the death of Aminulrasyid at Jalan Tarian 11/2 in Section 11, Shah Alam between 1.10am and 2am on April 26.

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