ALOR SETAR: A police officer did not arrest a Datuk whom he believed to be an accomplice in a crime because he had not received any orders from his superior officer, a High Court was told.
Asst Supt Zainal Omar Mahmud, 54, said he had recorded a statement from entrepreneur Datuk Jaafar Jamaludin that he, together with his wife and son, had disposed of a knife in a dustbin near a night market on Jan 15, 2006.
