SEVERAL belongings of former Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan went missing after a fire in his room was put out last year, the Shah Alam High Court heard this afternoon.

Lawyer Shafee Abdullah, who is representing murder accused Samirah Muzaffar, asked the sixth witness, firefighter Mohamad Afzan Majid, if he knew a Tissot watch and foreign currency that Nazrin owned went missing after the fire.

“Do you agree there were items that were disturbed from the room, for example, a Tissot watch was gone and has not been found until today. The watch was near the bed. Foreign (bank) notes also went missing,” said Shafee.

Afzan said he had no knowledge of the missing items and was not aware if a police report was lodged.

Afzan, from the Damansara station, was among three firefighters who went up to the room on the upper floor of the house in Mutiara Damansara to put out the fire on June 14 last year.

Afzan agreed that no one should have been allowed to go to the second floor of the house during and after the fire.

Shafee asked Afzan if he knew several press photographers had went into the room to take pictures of the crime scene.

The lawyer was referring to a report by Harian Metro, where a picture of the body at the crime scene was published on its front page.

“I’m not sure about reporters going up,” Afzan replied.

Shafee asked Afzan if he knew why Samirah was inspecting her dead husband’s head after she was allowed to go into the room, suggesting that she was in grief and in a state of disbelief after she saw her husband lying motionless on the bed.

“I saw her kneeling next to the body. I saw her looking at the head, she moved her head twice to look at both sides of (Nazrin’s) the head,” Afzan said.

“She was, maybe, in grief and she was very sad and could not accept that her husband died in the fire,” Shafee suggested.

“I do not know,” Afzan replied.

Afzan later told the court, before justice Ab Karim Ab Rahman, he did not suspect anything wrong with the incident.

Earlier today, Afzan informed the court that Samirah looked calm when firefighters turned up at her home in Mutiara Damansara.

The sixth witness in the trial, said it was unusual for a victim who had lost a close family member to be so composed.

Samirah is accused, along with with her two teenage sons, of killing her husband, Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan, and covering it up by saying that he had died in a fire caused by a handphone that had exploded.

Last week, a Nepali security guard, who was the fourth witness, told the court that Samirah was screaming for help and pleaded with him to save her husband who was in the room when it caught fire.

The trial resumes tomorrow. – October 2, 2019.
