By most accounts there was nothing eye-catching about him. Not the way he spoke, how he ribbed his friends or how he dressed.

Aminulrasyid Amzah was quite simply a quiet, diminutive 14-year-old schoolboy, according to those who lived around him and who saw him last.

If he was part of your school-yard group, he would have been one of the followers. Not the one everyone bullied but certainly not the one with the zaniest jokes, the one who got all the girls’ phone numbers or the one who shaped opinions.

He is remembered as being a part of the many regular groups of schoolboys who roamed the neighbourhood after class. Who ate out with their families at the community’s food court and who haunted the cybercafés.

In essence, he was part of the scenery of Shah Alam’s Section 11. One of this Malay-Muslim city’s oldest neighbourhoods and which is known for its seamless mix of working class and upscale houses.

Lawyer wants probe on ‘attempted murder’ of schoolboy witness-Allege police beat up boy in witness of Police Shooting.

Azamuddin shows bruises he claimed resulted from his beating.

A lawyer representing Azamuddin Omar is demanding a probe into what he claims was the attempted murder and assault of the key-witness in the fatal shooting of Aminulrasyid Amzah.

“A separate investigation must be launched based on his account of what happened that night,” said N. Surendran, who is among the lawyers representing the 15-year-old witness.

The son of a police sergeant was in the car with the 14-year-old Aminulrasyid when the latter was shot in the back of the head after a car chase with police, last Monday.

The spotlight so far has been on the fatal police shooting of the Form Three student, with Azamuddin’s escape and alleged assault by policemen being so far ignored.
