Friends face murder charge over killing of Indonesian man in Klang’s Telok Gong

KLANG, August 28 — Two friends have been charged with murder in connection with the death of an Indonesian man named Suherman, 47. Muhd Asnawi Ghazali, 37, and Musa Ramli, 25, appeared before Magistrate Siti Zubaidah Mahat at the Magistrate's Court in Klang. The charges were read out, but neither accused entered a plea, as the case is now being handled by the High Court.

Suherman was allegedly killed around 6.30 am on August 6 in an unmarked house in Kampung Baru Telok Gong. The duo, along with a third individual known as Kutek, who remains at large, are accused of committing the crime under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which allows for either the death penalty or a prison sentence ranging from 30 to 40 years.

If not sentenced to death, they could also face a minimum of 12 cane strokes upon conviction. The case was set to be heard again on November 27. Deputy public prosecutor Mohammad Uzzair Rosman represented the prosecution, while the accused remained without legal representation.
