Cases Involved
Kamarudin Bin Mohmad Chinki has been involved in several notable cases recently. One of the prominent cases is the Lahad Datu vocational college murder case, where 13 male students were charged with the murder of their fellow student, Mohamad Nazmie Aizzat Mohd Narul Azwan. Kamarudin, along with other lawyers, is representing nine of the chid offenders in this high-profile case. The incident, which took place in March 2024, has drawn significant public attention due to the involvement of underage offenders. The case was transferred from the Lahad Datu Magistrate Court to the Tawau High Court.
In addition to this, Kamarudin is also representing Ebit Lew in a sexual harassment trial, which is another case that has attracted substantial media coverage. The trial involves allegations of sexual misconduct against the well-known preacher, and Kamarudin is part of the defence team working on this case.
Kamarudin has been actively involved in several high-profile cases at the Tawau and Sandakan High Courts. Notably, he represents five accused in a complex case involving the murder of an e-hailing driver, Nurman Bakaratu, which took place in Tawau. The case involves several police officers of conspiring and carrying out the murder. The trial has gained considerable attention due to the involvement of former Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) personnel and the gruesome nature of the crime.
In another significant case, Kamarudin also represents individuals accused in other serious matters, including cases related to drug trafficking under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act, which typically carry severe penalties such as life imprisonment or the death penalty.
Kamarudin has been involved in several significant cases under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (SOSMA) and Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act (DDA). Kamarudin has represented clients in cases linked to the Lahad Datu standoff, a significant event involving national security under SOSMA. The Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 is often used in cases related to terrorism, organized crime, and offenses against the state. This procedural law allows for extensive police powers, including detention without trial for up to 28 days, which has made it controversial.
