PUTRAJAYA: Investigations into the fatal shooting of 14-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah have been transparent and fair to all, according to the special panel set up by the Home Ministry to monitor the case.

Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusof said the panel reached the conclusion during its final meeting on the April 26 case in which the teenager was shot dead by police following a car chase.

Abu Seman, who heads the special panel, said yesterday the investigations had adhered to all the terms of reference set by the ministry.

“We have found the police investigations transparent, fair to all sides and there were no attempts to suppress any information.

“This was further proven when one of the policemen on patrol, Kpl Jenain Subi, was charged on May 10 under Section 304(a) of the Penal Code with culpable homicide not amounting to murder,” he told a press conference here.

He could not disclose the details of the panel’s findings as the information was classified and the trial was ongoing.

On the Inspector-General of Police Standing Orders (IGSO) concerning the use of force and firearms in apprehending suspects, Abu Seman said the panel was finalising a report to be presented to Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein after Hari Raya.

“In conducting our evaluation, we looked at the IGSO in Malaysia and the standards used by enforcement agencies in Canada, United States and Britain as well as the United Nations.
