Ulu Tiram attack: Alleged attacker's mother said she was 'relieved' son died, policeman testifies


KUALA LUMPUR: The mother of the alleged attacker in the Ulu Tiram police station assault told the police that she was "relieved" that her son had died in the incident, the High Court heard Friday (April 17).

Asst Supt Cassidy Banta recalled the strange reaction from Rosna Jantan, 61, when she was informed that her son, Radin Luqman Radin Imran, had caused the death of two policemen and perished himself. The senior police officer, together with a large team of policemen, had gone to a house at Jalan Rabani, Kampung Sungai Tiram to make a confirmation on Radin Luqman's death.

"Alhamdullilah, baguslah tu (Praise be to God, that is good)," Rosna told the police.

Meanwhile, the witness said Radin Luqman's father, Radin Imran Radin Mohd Yassin, 64, expressed his disappointment over not participating in the attack.

"Saya cuma kesal kerana dia tidak ajak saya ikut bersama (I only regret that he did not invite me to go with him)," Radin Imran had said.

ASP Cassidy was testifying in the trial of five family members, including Rosna and Radin Imran, who were allegedly involved in the assault.

The witness said the team, consisting of more than 50 policemen, conducted a check in the house and found several air rifles and PVC pipes.

The police then arrested all of the occupants in the house, including Rosna and Radin Imran.

Their children, Radin Romyullah, 36; Mariah, 21; and Farhah Sobrina, 25, were also arrested.

"I arrested all of the suspects for suspicion under Section 302 of the Penal Code," ASP Cassidy added.

The police also seized four handphones, books, air rifles, PVC pipes, and a pouch bag containing 42 pieces of marbles.

According to the charges, Radin Luqman's mother, Rosna, faces one count of failing to provide information related to terrorist ideology at a house in Kampung Sungai Tiram, Johor Baru, between April 2017 and May 17, 2024.

His father, Radin Imran, faces four charges, including promoting terrorist ideology, supporting terrorist acts, possessing firearms for terrorism-related activities and owning materials linked to terrorist groups.

His brother, Radin Romyullah faces two charges of supporting and possessing materials related to the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) terrorist group, while his two sisters, Farhah Sobrina and Mariah, are charged with deliberately failing to provide information related to terrorist ideology.

The trial continues before Justice Nurulhuda Nur'aini Mohamad Nor on April 27.
