The third day of trial saw Ammar, 12, showing vulnerability, and asking the investigating officer before his interview when his parents will be released.
"It's been a long time. Four weeks already and it's strange not to see them for so long. I wish my parents would be at my home and we will be fine together," he says in the video that was shown by prosecutor, Anna Arnell.
At this point, his mother, Shalwati, who was sitting next to her lawyer, Kristofer Stahre, started to tear up and had to reach for a tissue. Azizul just looked down and wrote on his notepad. He was sitting on the same defence table next to his lawyer, Jonas Tamm.
The rest of the video was more of a reiteration of everything Ammar had said in the previous recordings the day before.
He reconfirmed all the incidents that he had related to the investigating officer of his parents allegedly hitting him for the things he had done.
According to Ammar, his mother had hit him 1,000 times in 2013 and his father hit him more than 100 times.
"It happens so often that I don't even bother to look if my body has any marks anymore," he said.
He related an incident that happened while during to Germany during the summer holidays. They were still in Sweden when they had stopped for food.
He was playing with his friends when his mother called him over. She then allegedly hit him for 'showing off' to his friends. Ammar said none of his friends saw what had happened.
Azizul Raheem Awaluddin and Shalwati Nor Shal have been detained since Dec 2013 for allegedly abusing their four children, who are now under the care of their aunt in Kelantan.
They were brought home from Sweden by Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainuddin, last month.
The elder children, Aishah, 14, and Ammar are now schooling at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Padang Kala while Adam, 11, and Arif are now studing at Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Kala, Kota Bharu.
The trial which is expected to run for 10-days at the Solna District Court in Stockholm will see Shalwati and Azizul plea their innocence for violating the integrity of their children.
