Signals from a mobile phone belonging to an individual suspected to be involved in the Lahad Datu intrusion in February last year were traced to three houses at Kampung Sri Jaya, Simunul in Semporna, the High Court in Kota Kinabalu was told today.
Bukit Aman Special Branch officer ASP Azra Nursaffree Ramli said during a raid by 57 policemen on March 2 last year to arrest the suspect known as ‘Imam Tua’, he used a special equipment to detect the signal from the suspect’s mobile phone number supplied to him by his colleague ASP Mohamad Hasnal Jamil.
“At 7.10pm, I detected a signal from Imam Tua’s mobile phone near a surau and I immediately told ASP Mohamad Hasnal.
“I told him there were three houses near the surau believed to be where Imam Tua was hiding,” he said.
Asked by deputy public prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar why he was unable to trace the signal to only one house, Azra Nursaffree said the three houses - numbers 25, 26 and 27 - were close to each other and his equipment could not give an accurate result.
At that time, he said he was in front of house number 25 and after that, he saw the late Sergeant Baharin Hamid head towards the house and shouted “police” before entering the house.
Azra Nursaffree said he and another officer then went to the verandah of the house where he could hear the late Baharin talking to an elderly woman.
Mohd Dusuki: What did the late Baharin say to the woman?
Azra Nursaffree: I am not sure. But I heard the woman say she was alone in the house.
Azra Nursaffree also said he used the same equipment to trace the mobile numbers of two of the accused Salib Akhmad Emali, who was arrested at a workers’ quarters of an oil palm plantation in Tungku, Lahad Datu on Feb 25 last year, and Al Wazir Osman alias Abdul, arrested at a roadside at Kampung Bakau in Semporna on March 1 last year.
Thirty accused, comprising 27 Filipinos and three local residents, are being tried in the case, in which some are facing multiple charges of being members of a terrorist group or waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, recruiting members for a terrorist group or willfully harbouring individuals they knew to be members of a terrorist group.
They allegedly committed the offences between Feb 12 and April 10 last year.
The hearing before Justice Stephen Chung at the Sabah Prisons Department continues on Aug 25.
