College student fails to strike out murder charge over Jalan Ampang collision that killed couple

A college student, Danish Raman Kamar Kumaresan, has failed in his attempt to have a murder charge against him dismissed following a fatal collision on Jalan Ampang, which resulted in the death of a married couple. High Court Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin dismissed the application on August 5 due to the prosecution's preliminary objection.

The judge stated that the court found the objection valid, thus dismissing the college student's bid to strike out the murder charge. The 24-year-old Danish Raman contended that the prosecution's decision to charge him under Section 302 of the Penal Code for the road accident was made in bad faith and was unreasonable, in breach of Articles 5 and 8 of the Federal Constitution.

The unfortunate incident occurred on May 2, 2022, when the Honda Wave Alpha motorcycle ridden by Danish Raman was struck from behind by a Toyota Vios, causing severe head injuries to the couple, A. Doraisingam, 61, and A. Menagah, 56, leading to their deaths.
