Following the three charges of money laundering on Tuesday amounting to RM1.3 million, Superintendent Azmi Osman was in court yesterday for two more similar charges amounting to RM2.8 million.

The 52-year-old officer who is currently with the Internal Security and Public Order Department at the Bukit Aman police headquarters was accused of accepting RM2,093,300 into his Maybank bank account in Mentakab on 6 February 2002 and 20 December 2002.

The second count was for accepting RM683,850 into his account on 7 January 2003 and 2 October 2003.

Again under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act, Azmi faces a fine of up to RM5 million, or five years’ jail, or both, for each charge.

The judge fixed bail at RM100,000 with one surety for each charge and allowed the cases to be heard in the Sessions Court in Johor Baru on 31 October 2007 together with the first three charges.

Azmi posted bail in the afternoon.

Roslee Tamrin allegedly slapped and shook his 5-month-old baby, Mohd Ridzuan and caused his death in a rented room at Lot 4578, Jalan Sungai Udang in Klang between 10am and 11am on 28 December 2004.

His wife, Noranita Nordin, was at work when Roslee was alone with the baby. Their landlady and her son had went to the bank. Ridzuan started to cry but despite Roslee’s attempts to pacify him, the baby continued to cry.

Roslee slapped and shooked the baby repeatedly until there was no sound. The baby started gasping for air, but Roslee stayed in the living room until the landlady returned an hour later.

The baby was brought to the Klang Hospital where a doctor diagnosed the baby as suffering from “shaken baby syndrome”. The baby finally died on 31 December 20034. Post-mortem results revealed that he had died from severe haemorrhage in the brain.

Roslee underwent psychiatric evaluation which indicated that he had “borderline mental retardation”, leaving him with the mental state of only a 12-year-old.

In court yesterday, Roslee pleaded guilty to the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. He was initially charged with murder. Roslee faces a maximum of 10 years in jail.

The judge set 5 October 2007 for sentencing.
