Appellate court orders men to enter defence for Nhaveen murder

The Court of Appeal today ordered four individuals accused of the murder of T Nhaveen in Penang seven years ago to enter their defence.
According to a news report, a panel of three judges overturned an earlier decision by the Penang High Court, which dismissed the case three years ago.
The panel chaired by Che Mohd Ruzima Ghazali found that the prosecution had proven a prima facie (answerable) case against the four and thus required them to enter their defence for the June 9, 2017 murder of the teenager.
“We agree with the arguments raised by the prosecutors and find that the High Court judge erred in rejecting their case,” Ruzima said when announcing the appellate court’s ruling, as quoted by Free Malaysia Today.
