Shamil Isa, 27, was charged with ramming a car into a motorcycle ridden by corporal A Rajaratnam, 48, knowing that the act could result in death, at a traffic light in Jalan Segambut, Sentul, here, at 11.45 pm, on Oct 21.

The charge under Section 307 of the Penal Code provides for a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a fine upon conviction.

Deputy public prosecutor Vivien Yeap did not offer bail for the accused. However, the accused’s lawyer Nurul Atikah Rusli requested bail on the grounds that her client had to take care of his mother.

Yeap said the accused and his girlfriend, who were in a car, were stopped by the policeman for inspection. However, the accused accelerated and crashed into the victim’s motorcycle.

“The victim did not sustain any injury. However, his motorcycle was dragged by the accused’s car for approximately 300m,” said Yeap.

The court did not allow bail and fixed Dec 2 for mention.
