KUALA LUMPUR:
The High Court has set Jan 20 to hear the prosecution’s application for a joint trial of five family members from Ulu Tiram, Johor, accused of terrorism offences.

A total of nine charges have been brought against Radin Imran Radin Yassin, his wife Rosna Jantan, son Radin Romyullah, and daughters Farhah Sobrina and Mariah.

Radin Imran faces charges of promoting terrorist ideology and supporting the Islamic State (IS) group. He is also accused of indoctrinating his wife and children with IS ideology between end-2014 and May 2024.

He also faces three charges of supporting terrorism by keeping homemade rifles to facilitate IS activities, pledging allegiance to its group leader and possessing a book on the militant group.

His Singaporean wife Rosna and daughters were slapped with one charge each for deliberately omitting to provide information regarding crimes related to the ideology of terrorism.

Meanwhile Radin Romyullah faces one count of supporting IS and another charge of possessing a hard disk containing IS materials.

Today, Justice Jamil Hussin was told that the prosecution was in the midst of handing over all trial documents to their lawyers.

Deputy public prosecutor Yazid Mustaqim Roslan also informed the court that the family was not present in court today.

Lawyer Faizal Rahman, appearing for the family, said they had yet to decide on whether to agree to a joint trial.

On May 17 this year, another of Radin Imran’s sons, Radin Luqman, stormed the Ulu Tiram police station armed with a gun and parang.

He killed two constables – Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar and Syafiq Ahmad Said – before being shot and killed by the police. Another policeman was injured in the incident.

Radin Luqman was previously suspected by police of being a member of Jemaah Islamiyah.
