Saksi dakwa dipukul, direnjat ketika di bawah program perlindungan
Perkara itu didedahkan dalam kes saman sivil RM190 juta terhadap bekas pegawai kanan dan anggota Esscom.
Nurima Juli, a 36-year-old witness, recounted to the High Court of Tawau that she was beaten, threatened, and forced to take blue and white pills, leading to memory issues including forgetting her children. She stated to Berita Harian that she was unaware of making a police report or receiving medical examination related to her injury claim.
When questioned by Attorney General Mardziatun Nisa Ahamadul Kaber, Nurima claimed she could not recall if she had ever reported to the police or received medical examination in connection with her injury claim. Mardziatun suggested that there were no special police reports or hospital medical records to corroborate physical injury or the effects of electric shock on her head or body.
In response, Nurima said, "I don't remember." Her lawyer also suggested the claims of "memory loss pill," "electric shock to the head," and "detainee in Putrajaya apartment" were made by Nurima herself. The plaintiff's lawyer, Sharatha Masyaroh John Ridwan Lincon, pointed out that there was no police report or hospital medical records due to Nurima's claim that she was requested not to make a report against the implicated police member.
All eight defendants were acquitted and released by the High Court of Tawau on January 25, 2023, from the charges of homicide of e-hailing driver, Nurman Bakaratu, 61.
