ALOR SETAR: A High Court here will decide today whether to initiate impeachment proceedings against a Datuk over his testimony in defence of his son, who is on trial over the murder of a female jogger nearly nine years ago.

Kedah prosecution unit head Salim Soib had asked for entrepreneur Datuk Jaafar Jamaludin to be impeached following discrepancies in his police statement and his testimony.

Jaafar was a defence witness for his son, businessman Shahril Jaafar, 33, who is charged with the murder of marketing executive Chee Gaik Yap, 25, near the Cinta Sayang Club in Taman Ria Jaya, Sungai Petani, between Jan 14 and Jan 15, 2006.

On June 25 last year, the High Court here freed Shahril from a charge of murdering Chee after finding that the prosecution had failed to prove its case.

The appellate court had on Oct 13 set aside Shahril’s acquittal and ordered him to enter his defence.

Chee, a Universiti Utara Malaysia graduate, was raped and her body dumped at the housing estate after being abducted while she was jogging in the neighbourhood.

Yesterday, Jaafar denied certain contents of his police interrogation statement made in 2009.

He denied the claim that he, his wife and Shahril, had disposed of a knife on Jan 15, 2006, and that the knife was discarded into a dustbin near the Taman Ria night market, saying instead that he had no knowledge of the knife’s existence at all.

He also denied the part that he had sold off his Naza Ria to get a bigger car because it was used in the murder, saying that the only reason was because he wanted a bigger car.

Jaafar said he was in a rush when he went through the statement after the interrogation, and had possibly missed the errors when he signed at the bottom.

Shahril’s counsel Shamsul Sulaiman argued that it was not necessary to commence with impeachment proceedings against Jaafar, as the discrepancy was not a major contradiction.

He said a witness could only be impeached if there was material contradiction which would affect the verdict of the case.

High Court Judicial Commissioner Datuk Mohd Zaki Abdul Wahab fixed today to deliberate and decide on the issue.

deny, deny, deny

like father like son

place your bets
- released for lack of evidence
- sentence reduced
- death penalty
- shhhhhhhh sesat

bright future eh?

I think DPP has a strong case against him. If not, the case won't be reopened again after so long.

if ur innocent, they wont suspected u, somemore high profiler lagi..... cb

9 years. Too bad is not an opposition-related figure.

nah

more or like being pressure by public to reopen the case

all DPP has is circumstantial evidence

those crucial evidence like knife, the alleged pimp, blood...

semua tak ade

the only thing they have is the accused sperm

lorry.........

they got the body right? if can prove she was raped then still got case

Of coz must protect la. If son guilty what happens to his reputation?

The fact that the accused admitted he had paid sex with Chee means that the DPP has very strong evidence of the intercourse happening. So it is up to the accused to create some convenient excuses

rape is rape

murder is murder

they are charging him with murder (i think)

if she got raped by that dude, doesn't mean she got killed by the same guy

still trying to take a look into ground of judgement in sessions court

loyarburuk website no publish

penetration. very hard to say consensual or rape.

still got face up press let ppl see


ohwai

got evidence of rape but not evidence rapist is him.

so get 2x acquitted.

he x pandai cover track, but his lawyer pandai cover for him.

But its the same judge who ruled in the suspect's favour...
