Auxiliary cop denies trying to kill ex-lover's brother

Samuel John Moses, 28, faces a charge of intentionally trying to kill by firing at T. Tholilaetholan, 25, and injuring him.

The police constable from the Bandar Baru police station in Bangi allegedly committed the offence at the 26-year-old ex-lover, Josephine's house in Taman Megah, Sungai Jelok here at 8.52am Monday.

In that incident, he reportedly fired five shots when Tholilaetholan refused to let him meet his sister who had stopped seeing the policeman, upon the advice of her family.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Siti Abd Yazaid Balkiah objected to bail on the grounds that the offence was serious and that the accused might harass the victim.

However, Samuel, who was unrepresented, urged the court to grant him bail as he had to support his elderly parents.

Judge Nor Norhazani Hamzah set bail at RM16,000 in one surety, together with additional conditions that his passport be surrended to the court and he should report to the nearest police station once a month.
