The Aminulrasyid Amzah shooting trial heard incriminating testimony today when the partner of accused Corporal Jenain Subi said the latter had indeed fired his Heckler and Koch MP5 at the 14-year old on Jalan Tarian.

Constable Mohd Hafizd Mohd Yusoff said Jenain had fired his gun after the former turned their Proton Wira patrol car turned onto Jalan Tarian, where Aminulrasyid's white Proton Iswara eventually crashed into a wall.

NONE Answering a question from deputy public prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar ( right ), Hafizd said Jenain had aimed his gun at Aminulrasyid's car when taking his shots.

Aminulrasyid, 14, was found dead with a bullet wound to the back of his head inside a white Proton Iswara after it crashed into a wall along Jalan Tarian on April 26 this year.

Hafizd, however, appeared not very keen on answering the questions posed by Dusuki, on more than one occasion evading direct answers and only giving clear answers when asked again by Sessions court judge Latifah Mohd Tahar.

The witness also repeatedly said that he only managed a “glance” at key incidents as the car chase unfolded, such as Constable Izham Mahayuddin’s attempts to shoot out the rear tyre of Aminulrasyid’s

Iswara.

His estimates were also off when asked to relate distance, at one point saying the distance between the patrol cars was around two cars away but when asked to indicate the distance in the court, it turned out to be around 13.7m.

‘Don’t cover up’

This lead to Dusuki warning Hafizd to get his act together, telling the witness to simply tell the truth and not attempt to cover up or “feel sorry” for anyone when giving his testimony.

Hafizd however continued to say he “does not know” or is “not sure” when asked about specifics, especially when it came to Jenain opening fire on Aminulrasyid’s car.

When asked by the judge, Hafizd demonstrated that Jenain had rested his right knee on the passenger seat and leaned his head out while holding his MP5 tight towards his body, and aimed downwards at the fleeing Iswara.

But when asked by Dusuki, the constable said he was not aware of how many shots or how quickly the shots were fired as he said he was “focussing on the Iswara”.

When pushed for an estimate, Hafizd relented and said “maybe around 10" shots were fired, but again volunteered that there is no way he could say for sure as “all I heard were gunshots”.

NONE The constable eventually said that the shots went “tap, tap, tap, tap” with a slight pause before Jenain ( left ) pulled the trigger again.

But when Dusuki asked whether it sounded rapid like fully automatic fire or more like the spaced and staccato semi-automatic setting on the MP5, Hafizd repeated that he only heard shots being fired and he was concentrating on driving.

Jenain, 48, is being charged for culpable homicide in Aminulrasyid’s shooting death and faces a maximum of 30 years jail and a fine if found guilty.

The trial resumes tomorrow at 10.30am in the Shah Alam Sessions court with the prosecution expected to finish up its examination-in-chief followed by cross-examination by the defence.
