SHAH ALAM: A fireman, who was one of the first to see the body of Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Nazrin Hassan, said he saw head injuries that may indicate signs of beating.
Damansara Fire and Rescue station operations personnel Stanley Sigau Nyalang, 28, said he saw the body of a man, clad only in a pair of underwear that was lying down, face up at the side of a bed in the room on the upper floor of the Mutiara Damansara home.
“On Nazrin’s head, I found hole wounds but I am unsure what caused it.
“I estimate the wounds to be about three to four centimetres.
“Nazrin was burnt on his face, chest and on the right leg. I also saw clumps of blood on his head,” said Stanley, who is the 11th prosecution witness in the murder trial held before Judge Datuk Ab Karim Ab Rahman.
Stanley said his superior, Tanhoss Bah Agem, had told him not to touch the body.
Stanley said he was told by Tanhoss to wait for the arrival of the department’s forensic team and police at the scene.
“While in the room, I also discovered a plastic bag that contained fireworks in the television cabinet. I checked the fireworks packages.
“I also saw that the bed in the room had been completely burnt.
“At the wall behind the burnt bed, there were marks like fireworks sparks, but I am unsure if it was caused by the fireworks,” he said.
As soon as the department’s forensic team arrived, Tanhoss handed over the scene for further investigations.
Stanley said he also helped policemen to move the body, using a stretcher, into a Land Rover.
He said he and his team returned to the station about 4pm.
Another witness, fireman, Muhammad Rezza Rusli, said he discovered Nazrin’s body soon after he conducted the ventilation process by opening all the windows in the room.
“After the thick smoke was let out, I found Nazrin’s body lying down on the floor and it was stiff. I immediately told Tanhoss, who was downstairs to check.
“Tanhoss checked for pulse on Nazrin’s neck and hand,” said Rezza.
While waiting for the forensics team and medical personnel to arrive, Rezza said he saw a boy aged about 14 or 15 emerge from the house holding a box.
He said he did not know the contents of the box.
Rezza also identified the boy as one of the accused.
Questioned by deputy public prosecutor Asyhraf Ashy’ari Kamaruzaman, Rezza said the teenager had carried the box with two hands but he did not ask him about it.
Rezza said he had no idea where the box was being taken to or whether the teenager had re-entered the house.
The trial continues.
