SUHAKAM INQUIRY | A security guard on duty at the site where missing activist Amri Che Mat's Toyota Fortuner was found on Nov 24, 2016, today admitted there were discrepancies in his police report of the incident.

The Suhakam inquiry's fourth witness, Yousri Khalid, told panel chairperson Mah Weng Kwai that there were "missing elements" in his police report which was presented as evidence during the hearing this afternoon.

"I agree, because there are missing elements... what was written (typed) on that night and the current copy was not the same," Yousri said to a suggestion by Mah that he had "lied" in his police report.

"So this (police report) is not the whole thing?" Mah asked, to which Yousri responded, "Yes."

"So he is 'lying' in that sense," Mah said to police observer R Munusamy (photo) who had first suggested to Yousri that he could be lying as there were discrepancies between his sworn statement to the commission and his police report.

"I suggest to you that what you have said in relation to this police report was false because once a report has been made and handed over (to the complainant), it could not be changed.

"Once a report number is given, it cannot be changed. So do you agree that you are lying?" said Munusamy, to which Yousri said he disagreed.

Munusamy earlier pointed out that while Yousri had testified he found Amri's Toyota Fortuner at the site with three broken windows, only two were cited in his police report lodged at IPD Padang Besar around 2.20am on Nov 25, 2016.

The Sentul OCPD also said Yousri's police report did not mention the names of two other security guards who were also on duty at a project site next to the abandoned site for Sekolah Sukan Bukit Cabang in Kangar, Perlis, where Amri's car was found.

"I did not lie. On that night (when lodging the report) I did state that I was with Rosli Mat, Amin Ismail and Ridzuan Che Ani," Yousri insisted, in reference to his colleagues.

Munusamy said any police officer who took down Yousri's report would have read it out to him for confirmation, and at that point, the 48-year-old said the original report was accurate.

At the same time, Yousri insisted that changes were somehow made to a second copy which he bought from IPD Padang Besar before attending the inquiry, as his boss had lost the original copy.

Witness left speechless after questioning

Munusamy in his cross-examination also questioned Yousri on what he had seen on that night.

"You said you had two bright torchlights that enabled you to see the driver and its passengers, so how come you don't know what the colour of the car was?

"You also said you had never seen Amri's car before the incident, so why in your testimony did you claim that all stickers and logos were removed from the car when it was found? How did you know it had stickers, to begin with?" asked Munusamy who proceeded with more questions after Yousri was rendered speechless.

Yousri earlier said he recalled seeing a "bright coloured" (warna cerah) 4x4 pickup truck exiting the site at close to midnight on Nov 24 with at least four passengers.

He said he had shone a torchlight towards the vehicle and its passengers had lowered their heads, while the driver turned his face away.

After lodging his police report on the incident, Yousri also testified he returned to IPD Padang Besar at about 4am on Nov 25 and met with one Inspector Rozita who asked him further questions, but he did not sign any documents.

Munusamy, however, presented to the panel a witness statement which was recorded by Rozita and bore Yousri's signature, which he confirmed.

Suhakam is currently investigating whether the disappearances of Amri and two others are “enforced or involuntary,” as defined by the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance (ICPPED).

The two other disappearances being investigated are that of pastor Joshua Hilmy and his wife Ruth Sitepu.

The inquiry will resume on Feb 12 with the inquiry's fifth witness, Anwar Ismail, continuing to take the stand for questions from Amri family's lawyers.
