The Court held the trial judge correctly found the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant intentionally used his car as a weapon to kill Rohadi bin Yaakob and attempt to kill Zakaria bin Taib, based on unchallenged eye-witness testimony, forensic medical evidence of severe/high-velocity injuries, vehicle damage analysis and appellant's own words and conduct; private defence failed and the convictions under Sections 302, 307 and 182 were affirmed.

T-05(M)-331-08/2019 (Mahkamah Rayuan)

The Court upheld the trial judge's findings that the prosecution proved intention to kill and attempted murder beyond reasonable doubt based on deliberate use of the car as a weapon (two collisions including a U-turn), prior threats and corroborating forensic and eyewitness evidence; the private defence was rejected and the police report P64 held to be false, therefore convictions and sentences were affirmed.
