Bunuh, kerat wanita, warga emas mengaku tak salah

On February 11th, Piluta Samad, a 72-year-old individual, stands accused of the murder of 44-year-old Hamidah Husin, known as Lisa, in an unspecified unnumbered house in Kampung Sri Kenangan, Sepanggar. The crime allegedly took place between 6 pm and 7 pm. Piluta made his admission to the High Court in Kota Kinabalu, facing charges under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of death or imprisonment for 30 to 40 years.

The case was moved to the Supreme Court on September 8 after a mental evaluation was conducted at the request of the prosecution's legal team. As of July 23, hospital reports confirmed that Piluta was fit to stand trial and not suffering from any mental illnesses. The prosecution, represented by Naziah Mokhtar and Samira Khalili, is supported by counsel Ram Singh, Joan Goh, Ian Vun, Prem Elmer Ganasan, and Prabjit Singh Gill. The court has scheduled October 19 for the management of the case.
