The lawyer of three Burmese brothers, charged with attempted murder and destroying their nation's embassy in Kuala Lumpur last April, has yet again been denied access to prosecution materials crucial to cross-examination.

Relating what transpired at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court this morning, lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad said he asked for a copy of the sketch plan made by arresting officer L/KPL Wan Baharuddin Wan Zakaria, who testified today of seeing the suspects throw something into the embassy building, which was followed by the emission of smoke.

However, the counsel said his request was denied with an outright 'no' by Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Stanley Augustin.

Amer then told Judge Nursinah Adzmi that the defence had not been adequately provided with copies of evidence today in the form of the arresting officer's sketch plan.

The lack of which, he explained, would make it difficult to cross-examine the witness immediately.

"In any other Commonwealth jurisdiction, such a situation does not arise as it is the duty of the prosecution to submit all evidence to the defence," he told the judge.

'Disclosure and discovery'

Amer, who is assisted by Latheefa Koya, said that the pre-trial process of 'disclosure and discovery' had not been practiced in this instance.

Abdul Fariyas Oo Hardi, 42, Mohd Salim Oo Hardi, 38 and Muslim Oo Hardi, 35, who are asylum seeking Rohingya Muslims have been accused of attempting to murder Burmese Embassy minister counsellor Khin Maung Lynn.

The brothers are also charged with committing mischief or destruction with the intention to destroy the embassy building.

On Wednesday, Amer's initial requests for reports such as the stabbed counsellor's medical report, the Fire and Rescue Department's report and photographs of the crime scene were also rejected by the DPP and upheld by the judge.

The trial continues on Dec 9 with Amer scheduled to cross-examine the arresting officer.
