IPOH, Nov 6 — On the second day of the trial of senior police officer DSP Mohd Nazri Abdul Razak in the High Court, who is accused of murdering a 17-year-old student, five videos were shown, depicting events allegedly leading to the death of Muhammad Zaharif Affendi Muhd Zamrie on December 15 last year.
Nazri is charged with the murder of Zaharif under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
The videos were presented after deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Afzainizam Abdul Aziz called the third prosecution witness, Royal Malaysia Police Laboratory forensic investigation officer ASP Nur Fairuz Idris, who had examined and analysed the footage.
The recordings included one of a speeding white Perodua Ativa colliding with a motorcycle, causing the rider to fall onto the road after which bystanders gathered around the victim.
Other footage included dashcam recordings capturing the aftermath of the collision and closed-circuit television footage from two nearby houses.
Fairuz testified that the videos had been retrieved from multiple sources: a CD-R, memory card, two DVD-Rs, and a dashboard camera with a memory card.
He said his team received the recordings from the investigating officer with a request to extract images, resulting in 24 images taken from five separate recordings.
Fairuz confirmed these images, captured from the recordings, were submitted to the court as evidence today.
The fifth prosecution witness, Ipoh district police headquarters’ Criminal Investigation and Traffic Enforcement Division photographer Cpl Shahiran Mohamad, captured 35 images of the accident scene and vehicles involved.
He said the photos included images of the victim Zaharif showing facial and hand injuries, as well as photos of his body before the autopsy at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital's forensic unit in Ipoh.
The prosecution is led by Afzainizam, alongside DPPs Nasrul Hadi Abdul Ghani, V. Suloshani, and Low Qin Hui, with the defendant represented by lawyers M. Athimulan, Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid, and Aiman Hakim Kamaruzzaman.
The trial, presided over by Judge Datuk Bhupindar Singh Gucharan Singh Preet, resumes tomorrow.
