Senior cop who killed teen was extraordinarily rash, court told
Prosecution says Nazri Abdul Razak knew that tailing the late Zaharif Affendi Zamrie at high speed could result in the victim's death.
IPOH: A senior police officer, Nazri Abdul Razak, is on trial for the murder of a 17-year-old student, Zaharif Affendi Zamrie, during an incident on December 15, 2023 in Ipoh. Deputy public prosecutor Afzainizam Abdul Aziz presented the court with evidence that Nazri acted dangerously and with extreme recklessness. Nazri had chased Zaharif at high speed, even as he passed a speed bump in the school area, pursuing him closely before striking the victim's motorcycle at an intersection.
Despite the absence of tyre tread marks on Zaharif's body, the pathologist testified that thick clothing may have prevented such impressions. Nazri, 46, faces a potential death penalty or a sentence ranging from 30 to 40 years in prison, along with 12 cane strokes, if found guilty.
