Ulu Tiram attack: Trial of suspect's family members to begin Oct 22

The High Court today set an eight-day trial, beginning Oct 22, for three family members of the suspect in the Ulu Tiram police station attack in Johor, who are facing terrorism-related charges.

Judge Azhar Abdul Hamid set the dates, after deputy public prosecutor Mustaffa P Kunyalam and defence lawyer Fatima Zulaikha Ahmad Bashri agreed to the schedule.

Fatima represented the suspect’s mother, Rosna Jantan, 60, and sisters Farhah Sobrina Radin Imran, 24, and Mariah Radin Imran, 20.

“The court has set the trial from Oct 22 to 24 and Oct 27 to 31, 2025,” the judge announced during case management, today.

Earlier, Mustaffa said the prosecution would call 15 witnesses, including a Sessions Court judge, investigating officers, and members of the public.

On Sept 30 last year, Rosna pleaded not guilty to a charge of failing to provide information related to terrorist ideology, at a house in Kampung Sungai Tiram, Johor Bahru, between April 2017 and May 17, 2023.

On Oct 23, last year, Farhah pleaded not guilty to willfully withholding information related to terrorist ideology, at the same location and date. Meanwhile, on Nov 27, 2024, Mariah also pleaded not guilty to a similar charge.

The charges were framed under Section 130M of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment, or a fine, or both.

On Jan 20, High Court judge Jamil Hussin allowed all three cases to be tried together.

In the attack on the police station on May 17, two constables, Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar, 22, and Syafiq Ahmad Said, 24, were killed, while corporal Hasif Roslan, 38, was injured after being shot by an assailant, who was eventually shot dead in the incident.
