2 beradik antara 8 didakwa bunuh lelaki dalam pergaduhan di Shah Alam

Eight men, including two brothers, have been charged with the murder of a man during a dispute in Taman Alam Megah, Shah Alam last month. The men - Shaik Hasanudin Ahlauwudin, 26, his brother Sheikh Mauludin, 24, Soulami Ahimsha, 46, SR Harikrisnan, 42, MK Puwaneswaran, 39, A Rhubban, 37, K Thivagar, 29, and R Darvin Raj, 23 - appeared in court after the charges were read in front of Justice Cynthia Noor Haizean Sulaiman.

No pleas were recorded as the case falls under the jurisdiction of the High Court. Of the eight men, six remain at large as members of the group are accused of violating laws by allegedly killing Ganesan, 23, in Mandolin Street, Taman Alam Megah, on August 25, 2020. The case was brought under Section 149 of the Criminal Procedure Code and can carry a sentence of death or imprisonment between 30 to 40 years, not to mention a mandatory retrial six times if found guilty.

The prosecution was handled by Assistant Public Prosecutor Nur Alya Zaphfirah Al Zaphni, while three of the men were represented by lawyers Navin Punj and Nur Aida Md Zainuddin. The court denied bail and set the next hearing for October 13. On August 27, Selangor Police Chief Shazeli Kahar confirmed that the dispute involved a group of individuals leading to the death of a man, with the accused suspecting the killing was due to animosity and territorial disputes between two underworld factions.
