I saw him get hit, says friend of dead college student in Sabah

A student of the Lahad Datu Vocational College told the Tawau High Court today that he saw his late friend get hit more than once.

The 10th prosecution witness said the act was committed by the first, third, fourth, and fifth accused in the murder case of Mohamad Nazmie Aizzat Mohd Narul Azwan.

He said he had an uninterrupted view of the incident in Dormitory Room 7 Resak.

“I was on the top bed of a bunk bed,” he said during re-examination by deputy public prosecutor Batrisyia Mohd Khusri before Judge Duncan Sikodol today.

Thirteen students, aged between 16 and 19, were jointly charged with the murder of Nazmie, 17, at the Lahad Datu Vocational College between 9pm on March 21 and 7.38am the following day.

They were charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same law, which provides the death penalty or imprisonment of 30 to 40 years and up to 12 strokes of the cane.

Also appearing for the prosecution were deputy public prosecutors Nur Nisla Abd Latif and Ng Juhn Tao.

Eight of the 13 accused are represented by lawyers Ram Singh, Kamaruddin Mohmad Chinki, and Chen Wen Jye, while the remaining five are represented by lawyers Mohamad Zairi, Abdul Ghani Zelika, Vivian Thien, Jhassany P Kang, and Kusni Ambotuwo.

The hearing continues.
