A police constable was killed after his motorcycle was struck by a car driven by a man who was believed to be under the influence of alcohol along Jalan Temiang, near Sekolah Kebangsaan Temiang, in the early morning of 18 August.
The policeman was only 23 years old
Seremban district police chief ACP Mohamad Hatta Che Din said Naim Mullah Mohd Affandi, 23, who was attached to the Jalan Campbell police station, sustained severe head injuries in the 1.01am incident. He was rushed to Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital (HTJ) but was pronounced dead about an hour later.
He was on duty when he was hit
“Preliminary investigations found that the victim, who was on duty, was riding a Honda EX5 from Seremban towards Temiang when a Perodua Bezza, driven by a 26-year-old man from the opposite direction, lost control and veered into his lane before colliding with him.
“The driver sustained minor injuries and is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol. A blood sample has been taken and sent to the Chemistry Department for analysis,” he said in a statement.
Mohamad Hatta said the suspect has been remanded for six days beginning today to facilitate investigations under Section 44(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
He also urged anyone with information regarding the incident to contact the investigating officer, Insp. Mohd Shahrizan Khairi, at 019-8461792 or reach out to the nearest police station.
