PETALING JAYA: A husband and wife have been charged at the Ampang magistrates’ court with murder over an explosion that killed a waiter in Pandan Indah, Ampang, on Dec 29.
The charges were framed under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries the death penalty upon conviction.
Khor Swee Boon, 33, and Ng Hui Yee, 30, nodded their heads as an interpreter read out the charges, according to China Press.
No plea was made as the case will be heard by the High Court. They are set to appear in the High Court on March 23.
Lawyer RSN Rayer, who is representing the couple, asked the court to allow Ng to be granted bail as she had to care for their two children, aged five and seven.
The prosecution objected, saying there were no grounds for this since murder was a non-bailable offence.
The request for bail was denied.
It was reported that a 28-year-old male waiter died of severe injuries after a parcel left on his car bonnet exploded.
Police said they believed the homemade bomb was remotely detonated.
