SHAH ALAM (Bernama): A witness in the murder trial of Nazrin Hassan told the High Court here that fragments of an arrow were found in the compound of the Cradle Fund chief executive officer’s house when police were investigating the case three years ago.
Inspector Nor Harman Ab Hamid, who is currently attached to the Bukit Aman training division, said he was asked by investigating officer ASP Mohd Nizam Daud to inspect the house in Mutiara Damansara after being informed that Nazrin’s death may have been caused by an arrow shot. On Sept 19, 2018, at 10am, I received a call from Mohd Nizam to help conduct another round of investigation in the house. I then took an air conditioner filter and blower from the room for a fire impact analysis.
