Auxiliary cop pleads not guilty to attempted murder charge

The Sun Daily, 20 November 2013

KAJANG (Nov 20, 2013): An auxiliary policeman pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today, to attempting to murder his ex-lover's brother, two days ago. Samuel John Moses, 28, faces a charge of intentionally trying to kill by firing at T. Tholilaetholan, 25, and injuring him. 

The police constable from the Bandar Baru police station in Bangi allegedly committed the offence at the 26-year-old ex-lover, Josephine's house in Taman Megah, Sungai Jelok here at 8.52am on Monday. 

In that incident, he reportedly fired five shots when Tholilaetholan refused to let him meet his sister who had stopped seeing the policeman, upon the advice of her family. 

Deputy Public Prosecutor Siti Abd Yazaid Balkiah objected to bail on the grounds that the offence was serious and that the accused might harass the victim. 

However, Samuel, who was unrepresented, urged the court to grant him bail as he had to support his elderly parents. 

Judge Nor Norhazani Hamzah set bail at RM16,000 in one surety, together with additional conditions that his passport be surrendered to the court and he should report to the nearest police station once a month. The court fixed Dec 20 for mention of the case. – Bernama
