KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here sets Sept 2 for the remention of the case involving terrorism-related charges against five family members of the suspect in the Ulu Tiram police station attack last May, which resulted in the death of two policemen and injury to another.
Judge Rasidah Roslee set the date after approving Deputy Public Prosecutor Fazeedah Faik's request for more time to complete the terrorism expert’s report before transferring the case to the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
The judge also ordered one of the accused, Mariah Radin Imran, 19, to undergo a health examination at a hospital.
Earlier, lawyer Faizal Rahman, representing the five accused, requested the court's permission to refer Mariah to a hospital as she showed symptoms of depression during his recent meeting with all his clients.
On June 19, Radin Imran Radin Mohd Yassin, 62, Radin Romyullah Radin Imran, 34, Rosna Jantan, 59, Farhah Sobrina Radin Imran, 23, and Mariah were brought before the Sessions Court on terrorism-related charges.
According to the charges, Radin Imran, the father of the suspect in the attack, is accused of encouraging terrorist acts by instilling the ideology of terrorism linked to the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group to his wife, Rosna, his two sons, including the suspect Radin Luqman Radin Imran, 21, and Radin Romyullah, and his two daughters, Farhah Sobrina and Mariah.
Radin Imran also faced three additional charges of supporting terrorist acts by keeping four homemade air rifles to facilitate IS activities; pledging allegiance to the leader of the terrorist group, Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi; and possessing a book related to IS.
All offences were allegedly committed in a house at No. 15, Lot 1288, Jalan Rabani, Kampung Sungai Tiram, between the end of 2014 and May 17 this year.

Meanwhile, the second accused, Radin Romyullah, the suspect's brother, was charged with two counts of swearing allegiance to the leader of the IS group, Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi, and possessing an "external hard disk" containing materials related to IS and the group's activities at the same location.
The offences were allegedly committed between the end of 2014 and May 17 this year under Section 130J(1)(a) of the Penal Code, which carries life imprisonment or up to 40 years with a fine, and Section 130JB(1)(a) of the Penal Code, which provides for imprisonment of up to seven years or a fine and forfeiture of the substance, if convicted.
The suspect's mother, Rosna, who is a Singaporean, and sisters Farhah Sobrina and Mariah were each charged with one count of deliberately omitting to provide information regarding crimes related to the ideology of terrorism.
All three were charged with committing the offence at the same location between April 2017 and May 17 under Section 130M of the Penal Code, which carries a prison sentence of up to seven years or a fine or both, if convicted.
