The bullet casings found at the scene where teenager Aminulrasyid Amzah was gunned down were traced to two separate submachine guns, testified a ballistics expert today.

NONE According to the Chemistry Department expert Shaari Desa ( middle in photo ), 13 out of the casings found were matched to the Heckler and Koch MP5 submachine gun used by the accused Corporal Jenain Subi at the time of incident.

"The characteristic marks (of these casings) matched the marks on the casings of the bullets I used in a shooting test with (the same gun)," he told the Shah Alam Sessions Court today.

Three other bullet casings found at the scene were identified as a match to the an identical submachine gun used by police officer Mohd Izham Mahayadin.

The remaining casings and jacket fragments submitted to him by investigating officer Abdul Halim Sulaiman were too damaged for testing, he said.

However, in his testimony today, Shaari made no mention of performing ballistics tests on the bullet slug pulled out from the deceased head, tendered into evidence today.

Jenain, 48, is accused of culpable homicide leading to the death of Aminulrasyid on Apr 26 this year in a shooting incident in Section 11, Shah Alam less than four months before the deceased's 15th birthday.

If convicted he faces a maximum jail sentence of 30 years.

The poser bullet

NONE Earlier, pathologist Dr Khairul Azman Ibrahim ( right ) told the court during cross-examination that he could not conclusively state that the bullet tendered into evidence today was the one he retrieved from Aminulrasyid's head.

This is because the Ministry of Health seal that his assistant had administered under his watch was broken and replaced by a Chemistry Department seal that was intact when the packaging was produced in court today.

He also said did not make any marks on  the bullet he had pulled out of the deceased's head, and had wrapped it in cloth to avoid introducing scratches to the evidence.

"Logically, I cannot be certain if that is the bullet that was pulled out of (Aminulrasyid's) skull," he said.

azlan He also testified that the bullet tendered into evidence today were different from another set of bullets tendered into evidence last week.

Last week, the bullets that were assigned to the accused that day were tendered into evidence.

Khairul testified that the bullet said to be retrieved from Aminulrasyid's head was "grey" while the other bullet exhibited last week was "made out of yellowish metal".

However, when re-examined by deputy public prosecutor Dusuki Mokhtar, Khairul said that the bullet is "more or less the same as the one pulled out of the deceased".

He also testified that both the bullet tendered into evidence today and the one he pulled out of the body were shot from a single shot firearms, which could be a handgun, pistol, revolver or machine gun,

Khairul could not positively identify which type of gun was involved. The trial resumes on Nov 9 with the continuation of Shaari's testimony.
