A man armed with a samurai sword who ran amok in the vicinity of the Prime Minister’s Department last year surrendered only after being shot at and sustaining injuries, the Sessions Court in Putrajaya was told today.

Corporal Ridzuan Megat Ahmad, 32, from the Putrajaya police headquarters, MPV branch said he fired two shots in the direction of Khalil Afendi Abd Hamid, 47, and Muhdalena Ahmad, 28, after they refused to heed his order to put down the weapon.

He said he fired out of fear for his safety as the distance between him and them was too close.

Testifying as the ninth prosecution witness in Muhdalena’s trial, Ridzuan said the couple appeared very aggressive and Khalil Afendi was brandishing the sword as they advanced toward him.

He said he gave them three warnings to put down the weapon and surrender.

The deceased (Khalil) warned back, ‘Polis jangan masuk campur, kalau tidak mati’ (police don’t interfere or you’ll die).”

Ridzuan said while he was giving the second warning, Khalil warned him to put away his gun or else he (Khalil) would behead him.

“After being fired at, they walked to the five-foot way and sat down, and the deceased (Khalil) said ‘Saya surrender’ (I surrender),” he said when questioned by deputy public prosecutor Kalmizah Salleh.

Muhdalena is facing four charges, under the Penal Code, the Corrosive, Explosive and Dangerous Weapons Act 1958, and Protected Areas and Protected Places Act 1959.

She is accused of criminally intimidating Ridzuan at Complex ‘B’ of the Prime Minister’s Department on July 9, 2012 and possession of a sword at the same place and date.

She also allegedly failed to heed Ridzuan’s order to put down the sword, and to abide by a minister’s advice to obtain a pass or permit for entering the premises.

Meanwhile, Ridzuan disagreed with counsel M Visvanathan’s suggestion that he had used excessive force by shooting at the couple.

The trial before Judge Mohamad Kamil Nizam has been adjourned to June 12.

By QISHIN TARIQ

PUTRAJAYA: The man who ran amok outside the Prime Minister's Department surrendered after he was shot, the officer who shot him told the Session Court here on Wednesday.

Kpl Ridzuan Megat Ahmad, 32, said he had thrice ordered Khalil Afendi Abd Hamid and his partner Muhdalena Ahmad, to lay down their swords but was forced to open fire in self-defense when they charged at him.

The officer added that the man threatened to kill him when he told the duo to surrender.

"After they were shot, the duo who appeared injured, sat down and the man said 'I surrender'. The accused (Muhdalena) did not say anything," he told the court.

When asked by deputy public prosecutor Kalmizah Salleh how he knew they were injured, Ridzuan said though he could not see the injuries due their dark coloured clothes, he saw a lot of blood.

Muhdalena, 28, and Khalil Afendi, 47, were reported to have ran amok outside the department building wielding samurai swords and were shot. Khalil died of his injuries.

Ridzuan, is the ninth prosecution witness in the trial of Muhdalena, who was accused of committing criminal intimidation by threatening to cause grievous hurt to a policeman.

She also faced two additional charges under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act 1959.

Muhdalena's lawyer, M. Visvanathan asked if firing three shots was an excessive use of force when attempting to arrest a suspect, but Ridzuan disagreed.

The hearing continues before judge Mohamed Kamil Nizam on June 12.
