A senior police officer has been sentenced to seven years and six months in prison by the High Court in Ipoh for causing the death of a 17-year-old schoolboy in 2023. Deputy Superintendent of Police Mohd Nazri Abdul Razak pleaded guilty to the amended charge of causing the death of Muhammad Zaharif Affendi Muhd Zamrie, knowing that his actions were likely to result in death.
The incident occurred near Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Jati on December 15, 2023, between 11:55am and 12:32pm. The court ordered Mohd Nazri to serve the sentence starting from the date of his arrest, December 15, 2023, and also to pay RM50,000 in compensation to the victim's father, Muhd Zamrie Zainal Abidin, 58. Mohd Nazri expressed deep regret and sorrow, stating that he never intended to cause harm or death.
His defence counsel urged the court to consider the gravity of the offence and the need for a deterrent sentence, as the victim's death had robbed his family of their happiness and hope.
