High-profile cases keep courts busy this week
KUALA LUMPUR: It was another busy week at the courts, with high-profile personalities and closely watched cases taking the limelight.
This week was a busy one at the courts in Kuala Lumpur, with high-profile personalities and closely watched cases taking center stage. Teenagers were on trial for murder, Interpol was called upon to locate a former research officer, a former Lembaga Tabung Haji chairman appeared in court, three alleged gang members were charged with murder, and a corporate chief executive claimed trial for cheating.
Yusoff Rawther's case took another turn after the prosecution sought Interpol's assistance to locate him in Manchester for his appeal notice due to his acquittal in a cannabis trafficking case. Yusoff's lawyer revealed that his client has been in the UK since June and is seeking asylum based on human rights grounds. Other major cases this week included the Bandar Utama school murder trial entering its final stages, former TH chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim's court appearance, a former Alam Maritim Resources Bhd CEO claiming trial for cheating, and three additional gang members being charged with murdering a 23-year-old during a violent incident in Taman Alam Megah.
