[2011] 7 MLJ A B C D E F G H I Public Prosecutor v Muhammad Rasid bin Hashim (Abang Iskandar J) 859 house-keys belonging to SP4 which SP4 had left with the deceased, had further bolstered the inference that he was concerned with the incident involving the deceased a few days prior. [19] There was also the evidence of Encik Sukri Palutturi (‘SP11’) who had told this court that at the material time, he was staying at the same apartment, Blok Kekwa and that on 9 March 2006, he was off-duty as a security guard. He said that at about 2.30pm on that day, he was making his way down the staircase from his apartment unit, when he had to go pass by the accused whom he saw standing on the stairs near the second floor. At that instance too, he also said that he also saw a lady clad in red T-shirt and wearing sarong batek standing in front of the door of apartment unit No 02–04, namely the SP4’s apartment unit where the deceased was staying with SP3 and SP4. SP11 said that he was quite familiar with the accused by sight. He also identified the accused as the brother of ‘Maknya Hakim’, referring to the fact that the accused was the brother of the mother of a boy by the name of Hakim. According to him, the accused even greeted him that day. At the subsequent ID parade, SP11 had positively identified the accused without much difficulty. He had also identified the lady clothings which he said were worn by the lady whom he said he saw in front of the door of unit No 02-04 of his apartment. He said that he could recall the lady had smiled at him when he went pass her on that day. As regards his identification of the accused, he said that although he did not know him by name, he was familiar with him, being in the same neighbourhood and he know that the accused stayed with his sister in the same apartment block Kekwa. Actually according to his evidence, the accused did in fact greet him as he was passing by him at the staircase at the second floor as follows: ‘Pakcik hendak ke mana?’ and to which SP11 had replied that he had wanted to go to Rawang town to buy a memory card. This piece of evidence was not challenged by the defence. According to him too, when he had returned from Rawang at about 5pm that day, he did not see the accused and the lady in red T-shirt at the same place at level 2 at Blok Kekwa anymore. The value of this piece of evidence, if accepted by this court, would lie in the fact that it showed that there was opportunity and would point to the probability that indeed the accused was in close proximity with the deceased before the approximate time of these offences. [20] The two key witnesses, SP3 and SP4 had also identified several items that were found and recovered by the police CSI forensic team at the scene of the crime, and SP4 in particular had identified the electric iron (‘P10B’) in this court as belonging to her. She had also noticed that the handle to the said P10B had now been fractured/broken and that the white cord attached to it had dark spots on it. The evidence of Chief Inspector Collin Babat (SP7), the lead CSI officer, had shown to this court that among the items that he had seized from
