The Sessions Court was told today that the individual who caused the death of 15-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah in April last year could not be determined as there were two policemen who fired the shots.

Former head of the Royal Malaysian Police Crime Scene Investigation (CSI), Amidon Adnan, said there were also three police patrol cars involved in the incident.

He said he was also puzzled with the failure of the Chemistry Department to identify the weapon used to fire the bullet which was found in the victim’s head.

“This was confirmed by the Chemistry Department which analysed the two weapons, but could not match them with the bullet,” he added.

Amidon, who is the second defence witness, said the CSI investigation was a failure because the processing of the gun shot residue was not done at the crime scene.

    

“In this case, it was also clear that Mazli (Chief Inspector Mazli Jusoh @ Che Kob, who led the forensic team) did not follow the standard operating procedures (SOP) because had he done so, I believe the bullet can be matched with any of the weapons that have been submitted to the Chemistry Department,” he added.

Hamidon was replying to questions by lawyer Salim Bashir, who is representing Corporal Jenain Subi.

Jenain, 48, has been ordered to enter his defence to causing the death of Aminulrasyid between 1.10am and 2am at Jalan Tarian 11/2 here on April 26, 2010.

He is charged under Section 304 (a) of the Penal Code which carries up to 30 years jail and also can be fined, if convicted.

Aminulrasyid was reported to have died from gunshot wounds in the head.

During a previous hearing, the court was told that analysis was done on two MP5 rifles, one which was used by Jenain, and the other by, Constable Mohd Izham Mahayadin. It had also been established that the two policemen fired the shots on that day.

At today’s hearing, Amidon also told the court that the forensic team had failed to carry out a trajectory reconstruction of the incident as the analysis was only made on the bullet hole on the rear windscreen of the car driven by Aminulrasyid.

Earlier, Amidon, who is now a visiting lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), was posed various questions by deputy public prosecutor Idham Abd Ghani to challenge his credibility as a witness.

After Amidon finished testifying, Athimulan told the court that the defence was closing its case.

Judge Latifah Mohd Tahar fixed Aug 23 for submissions.
