00:00The mother of Zayn, Ryan Abdul-Matin, told the Sessions Court today that a WhatsApp message

00:05she sent her husband on the day their son went missing, which included the phrase

00:09don't care whether live or die, was in reference to herself and not Zayn.

00:14During examination, Isma Neera Abdul-Manaf's lawyer, Harish Mahadevan,

00:18asked her to clarify the meaning of the message. She said she wasn't referring to her son but was

00:23trying to get her husband's attention by sending the message, as she was panicked and upset and

00:28wanted him to come home immediately. Previously, an analyst from the police for Nancic's lab,

00:33Zaidi Abu Hassan, testified that he had extracted WhatsApp messages from two phones

00:38allegedly belonging to the couple, which included the said message.

00:41Isma Neera, 30, was testifying in her defense against a charge of neglecting her six-year-old

00:47autistic child in a manner likely to cause him physical harm. On Monday, Isma Neera's husband,

00:53Zaim Ikwan Zahari, also 30, was acquitted of the same charge after the prosecution failed to prove

00:58a prima facie case against him. Narmta Raja, FMT
