Mother of Ula Tiram police station attacker ‘relieved’ he died


KUALA LUMPUR: The mother of the alleged attacker in the Ulu Tiram police station assault told the police she was “relieved” that her son had died in the ­incident, the High Court here heard. 

ASP Cassidy Banta recalled the strange reaction by Rosna Jantan, 61, when she was informed that her son, Radin Luqman Radin Imran, had caused the death of two policemen and had 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 confirm Radin Luqman’s death.

“Alhamdulillah, baguslah tu (Praise be to God, that is good),” Rosna told the police. 

ASP Cassidy also said Radin Luqman’s father, Radin Imran Radin Mohd Yassin, 64, had expressed his disappointment that he did not get to participate in the attack.

“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: Rosna, Radin Imran and their children, Radin Romyullah, 36; Mariah, 21; and Farhah Sobrina, 25. 

“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.
