KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — A food delivery rider, who rammed a car into a policeman last week, has claimed trial for an attempted murder charge at the Sessions Court today.
Muhammad Shamil Md Isa, 27, was charged with ramming a car into a motorcycle ridden by Corporal A. Rajaratnam, 48, knowing that the act could result in death, at a traffic light on Jalan Segambut, Sentul, at 11.45pm last Monday (October 21).
The charge under Section 307 of the Penal Code provides for a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a fine upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Vivien Yeap Jie Xin did not offer bail for the accused. However, the accused’s lawyer Nurul Atikah Rusli requested bail because her client had to take care of his mother.
Judge Azrol Abdullah then asked the DPP how the incident transpired, to which Yeap said Shamil and his girlfriend, who were in a car, were stopped by the policeman for inspection. However, the accused accelerated and crashed into the victim's motorcycle.
“In that incident, the victim did not sustain any injuries; however, his motorcycle was dragged by the accused’s car for approximately 300 metres,” she said.
The court did not allow bail and fixed December 2 for mention.
