JERANTUT: The Perodua Bezza involved in a tragic accident at Km7 of Jalan Jerantut-Maran earlier today had allegedly made a sudden U-turn at a junction along the poorly lit stretch, resulting in a collision with a Toyota Alphard. Five people, including four siblings travelling in the Bezza, died at the scene in the midnight crash. Three others, including a woman in the Alphard, sustained injuries. Jerantut district police chief, Superintendent Zukri Muhammad, said the department was alerted to the incident following a call from a member of the public at 12.40am. "Investigations revealed that the Alphard was travelling from Maran towards Jerantut town. The Bezza suddenly made a U-turn at the junction, which led to a collision involving both vehicles. "We will record statements from witnesses, including those travelling in the Alphard, to assist in the investigation," he said in a statement today. Zukri said the Bezza was driven by Mohamad Ikmal Ishak, 26, from Ulu Kinta, Perak, who was travelling with four siblings from Bota, Perak. The four siblings were Nur Arfiqah Aziz Jaafar, 23; Mohammad Zulkifli Aziz Jaafar, 21; Mohamad Azizul Hakimi Aziz Jaafar, 19; and Nurul Hazwani Aziz Jaafar, 17.

The offence is framed under Section 324/326A of the Penal Code. The court ordered Shahmar to serve the jail sentence concurrently with the sentence for another offence. In mitigation, Shahmar who was not represented asked for a lenient sentence.

The court heard that while the son was in the kitchen Shahmar came from behind and hit him with wood on his shoulder, head and right leg. The victim's mother then tried to stop Shahmar who suddenly took a machete and threatened the victim with the weapon.
