The family of 15-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah, who was shot dead by the police in a car chase three years ago, wants justice.
Producing a letter from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak that promised her “justice and transparency” in pursuing her son’s killers, Norsiah Mohamad charged today that none of this has been fulfilled.
“Is my son a stray cat - just shoot and throw him away?” Norsiah Mohamad asked reporters gathered at a lawyer’s office in Petaling Jaya.
“If you are not diligent in fulfilling your promises, how can you be the prime minister?”
Norsiah charged that the government has failed to hold anyone accountable, as the only assailant answerable for Aminulrasyid’s death, Corporal Jenain Subi, was acquitted by the Court of Appeal last month.
Helped by lawyers N Surendran and Latheefa Koya, the family will now launch a public campaign to seek justice.
Surendran, who is also a PKR vice-president, said the prosecution botched up the case, for new documents on police operating procedures shot holes in Jenain’s defence that the police have the right to open fire at vehicles attempting to evade them.
Surendran said the family now wants the attorney-general to urge the Court of Appeal to review its decision. - Mkini
