Student at private institution charged with murder over fatal crash
N Vishwesh, who allegedly drove while under the influence of alcohol, is accused of murdering an elderly man in Banting, Selangor, on Aug 7.
A 23-year-old student from a private university, N Vishwesh, has been charged with the murder of an 78-year-old man, Eng Kim Kheng, following a fatal car crash in Kuala Langat. The incident occurred on August 7 at around 7:20 pm at Km38 Jalan Klang-Banting-Port Dickson. Vishwesh is accused of driving under the influence of alcohol during the fatal collision.
The charges stem from Section 302 of the Penal Code, which prescribes the death penalty or a prison term ranging from 30 to 40 years, along with at least 12 lashes when convicted. Vishwesh did not enter a plea as murder cases are typically heard by the High Court. The court declined to grant bail and set a mention for October 1. The traffic accident video went viral on social media.
