Police search for teenage driver after fatal crash
A woman has died and another has lost her unborn child after a car crash, with police searching for one of the drivers involved. Just before 3am on Sunday, Newcastle police officers saw a Holden sedan allegedly driving dangerously, but did not pursue it due to safety concerns. A short time later, the sedan was involved in a head-on collision with another car. A passenger in that car and believed to be in her fifties was found dead while the 28-year-old driver, who was 25 weeks pregnant, suffered serious leg injuries. Police later confirmed her unborn child had died. The two women are believed to be related. The driver and a passenger of the Holden left the scene before police arrived. Witnesses said they saw a male and female running from the area. Two other passengers in the Holden - teenage girls aged 15 and 17 - were treated by paramedics before being taken to John Hunter Hospital under police guard in a serious condition. Police are searching for the 19-year-old male driver, acting assistant commissioner Paul Dunn said. "This is a horrible incident (and) what's occurred is truly tragic," Mr Dunn told reporters. "Two women driving around innocently, one has lost their life, one has lost their unborn child." Police have urged anyone with relevant footage or information to come forward. They also wish to speak with a 17-year-old girl believed to be the front seat passenger of the vehicle. "We do not believe this to be a stolen vehicle, but joy-riding and driving in a dangerous manner is always a real concern for us here in the Newcastle area," Mr Dunn said. A critical incident has been declared and a team from Hunter Valley Police District will investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Mersing cops confirm man in viral video stopping teens' bike was on-duty officer acting on traffic violations (VIDEO)
MERSING, June 22 – A viral video showing a man in black attempting to turn off the ignition of a motorcycle ridden by two teenagers near a school in Endau here has been confirmed to involve an on-duty police officer, Mersing police said today. According to the Mersing District Police Headquarters, the officer was conducting an inspection after observing that the motorcycle lacked a registration plate, had a modified exhaust, and was emitting excessive noise. 'Investigations revealed that the individual in black was an on-duty police officer who was attempting to inspect the motorcycle ridden by the two males,' said Mersing Deputy Police Chief DSP Mohd Hasrudi Mohd Zain in a statement. The 13-second video, recorded at a traffic light near Sekolah Kebangsaan Bandar Endau by a car behind them, captured the officer approaching a motorcycle carrying two teenagers wearing school T-shirts. The officer had attempted to stop the motorcycle, but the two teenagers were then seen running a red light while attempting to escape, before being pursued. Hasrudi explained that the laws permit officers to stop and inspect vehicles suspected to be involved in traffic offences. 'The police officer's actions fall under Section 58(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which permits the stopping and inspection of motor vehicles at any reasonable time, and Section 24(1)(b) of the Police Act 1967,' he said. The police also advised the public not to speculate on the incident, which has sparked discussion online.

Razaruddin says monitored ‘3R' cases weekly as IGP, but attacks against Faisal Halim and two other footballers remain unsolved
KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — Former inspector-general of police Tan Sri Razaruddin Husain has revealed what were the biggest cases for him during his tenure, and which cases he could not resolve in time. Speaking to Malay daily Utusan Malaysia, Razarudin said cases involving the so-called '3R' issues — race, religion, royalty — were top. 'I monitor them monitored weekly, by ensuring that investigations were completed within seven days and reports submitted to the Attorney General's Chambers, unless specific instructions are received requiring a shorter time frame of three to four days to verify the findings,' he was quoted saying. He also highlighted other cases involving the Islamic faith, such as the deviant teachings linked to Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH). In September last year, Bukit Aman announced a massive raid on 20 charity houses linked to GISBH in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, in which they rescued over 400 child residents and arrest nearly 200 people between the ages of 17 and 64. Razarudin also listed the fatal shooting of Customs Department deputy director-general Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim in 2013 as a remaining cold case. Shaharuddin was gunned down in a morning in April 2013, as one of two men on a motorcycle fired at close range when he stopped his four-wheel-drive vehicle at the traffic light at Lebuh Sentosa, Putrajaya. To this day, no one has been charged with Shaharuddin's murder although over 40 people were arrested and quizzed, but police believe that he was killed because of his operations against smugglers and a car syndicate. Razarudin also said that the police still cannot solve the attacks against footballers Faisal Halim, Safiq Rahim, and Akhyar Rashid. 'There have also been long-standing cases involving shootouts between gangsters in Kuala Lumpur and drug cartels fighting over power and territory, as well as the sale of counterfeit drugs,' he reportedly said. Yesterday, former director of the Special Branch Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail was appointed as the new Inspector-General of Police on a two-year contract beginning this Monday. Razarudin stepped down yesterday after a two-year term, previously succeeding Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.
