Cabbie on bond and likely to be key witness



KAJANG: Taxi driver Hanizan Mohamed Radzi remains on a court bond despite his release because he is expected to appear in court as a key witness, said a source.
“The bond is important to ensure he appears in court as a witness,” the source said.
Yesterday, Hanizan was released with a bond under Section 49 of the Criminal Procedure Code, a week after he was arrested.
Police have cleared him of any involvement in the crime, saying they found no link between Hanizan and the alleged kidnappers.
When a court offers bail to a suspect, it is usually in the form of a bond with security.
A source from the Kajang police headquarters said it was up to the court to decide on the conditions of the bond.
“The bond varies according to the court’s wishes. Sometimes it is a cash deposit. Other times, it is a bond of good behaviour,” he said.
The source said in Hanizan’s case, he was subjected to a bond as he might be considered a key witness in the case.
