Resuming his testimony from last week, Hospital Kuala Lumpur medical forensics department officer Dr Ahmad Hafizam Hasmi was answering government lawyer Hamdan Hamzah who asked if a parang handle could be responsible for the seven fractured ribs at the left rear side of Adib’s body. “If the weapon was aimed at the deceased’s body, the only possibility of fracture is the bone that receives the impact after being struck,” he told Judge Rofiah Mohamad who is sitting as coroner for the inquest.
He then demonstrated in court a normal swing using a parang’s handle to show how it could not generate the force needed to break all seven ribs in the manner that happened to the late fireman.
