‘Extraordinarily rash’: Prosecutor says police officer deliberately chased Ipoh teen before fatal crash

IPOH, Aug 14 — Deputy Public Prosecutor Afzainizam Abdul Aziz described the actions of senior police officer DSP Mohd Nazri Abdul Razak as "extraordinarily rash" and "crystal clear evidence of deliberate chase and tailgating" during his rebuttal. The prosecutor emphasized that DSP Mohd Nazri's pursuit of 17-year-old Muhammad Zaharif Affendi Muhd Zamrie at high speed was dangerous and showed "extraordinary rashness."
The prosecution claimed that DSP Mohd Nazri deliberately followed the victim closely even after passing a bump in a school area, and crashed into him at an intersection. Afzainizam stressed that the absence of tyre tread marks on the victim's body does not prove he was not run over, citing the thick clothing factor that may have protected the marks.
The court will decide on October 28 whether DSP Mohd Nazri should defend himself against the charge of murdering the teenager near SMK Jati on December 15, 2023.
