A witness in the Aminulrasyid Amzah shooting trial gave a damning account of the accused Jenain Subin's involvement in the teenager's death, saying that someone had let loose sub-machine gun fire during the fatal car chase.

Constable Mohd Izham Mahayuddin, who was in the first of two patrol cars that chased Aminulrasyid's white Proton Iswara that fatal night, told the Shah Alam Sessions Court today he was "shocked" to hear shots from a fully automatic weapon coming from the patrol car behind him when they were on Jalan Tarian.

NONE He said he would be mentally prepared for the loud noise from the Heckler and Koch MP5 sub-machine gun if he were shooting it himself, but said "it is a different experience altogether" to hear it being shot by someone else.

Mohd Izham described the shots as going "truuuup", with no interval between shots each time the trigger was depressed.

He said he heard his colleague, in the patrol car following his, shoot twice within 15 to 20 seconds and estimated that "maybe more than 10 bullets" were discharged in that period.

"I did not expect shots to be fired because the tyre was already blown and it would be difficult to escape," he said, during the examination-in-chief by deputy public prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar ( above ).

azlan Yesterday, Mohd Izham testified that he had shot at the rear right tyre of the Iswara driven by Aminulrasyid while on Bulatan Kayangan, but stopped firing after the chase moved on to Persiaran Kayangan.

Aminulrasyid was eventually found dead inside the Iswara, with a head wound. The car he was driving had also crashed into a wall along Jalan Tarian, where the car chase ended.

Today, Mohd Izham told the court that based on his assessment, there was no reason to continue shooting after Bulatan Kayangan as the Iswara had already been disabled.

"In that situation, I would not shoot because from my observation, the car was weak and no longer aggressive," he said.

‘I can't identify the shooter'

Izham, however, could not confirm the identity of the shooter in the second patrol car, explaining that both he and the driver of his patrol unit, Cpl Azahar Hashim, were busy chasing a male suspect at the scene.

The constable explained that after Aminulrasyid's car crashed into the wall, Azahar stopped their vehicle in front of the wreckage and got out to inspect the scene.

Izham said that was when he saw an unidentified male getting out of a drain on the left side of the crashed Iswara, prompting Azahar to attempt to arrest him.

The individual managed to break loose, starting a five-minute chase on foot.

The officers gave up the pursuit after they lost sight of the suspect, and decided to head back to the scene of the crash, he said towards the end of a seven-hour examination by Dusuki.

Izham said it was only when he got back to the scene did he identify Jenain and constable Mohd Hafidz Mohd Yusoff as the occupants of the second patrol car.

He said he saw Jenain conducting a body and documents search on the victim, with Hafidz standing by.

Asked if he knew who let off the shots from the second squad car, Izham said he did not know. He also noted that he was not aware if Jenain was armed at the time.

Jenain is charged with culpable homicide and faces a maximum jail sentence of 30 years and a fine if found guilty.

The trial continues tomorrow, with the defence cross-examining Izham.
