Pelajar kolej rempuh suami isteri gagal batal tuduhan bunuh

On May 15th, Danish Raman Kamar Kumaresan appeared in the High Court in Kuala Lumpur, facing charges of murdering a married couple in a road accident in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur earlier this month. The victim, A Doraisingam, 61, and his wife A Menagah, 56, died of severe head injuries after their Honda Wave Alpha motorcycle was rear-ended by a Toyota Vios driven by an unidentified man.

The charges were laid under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of death or life imprisonment. The High Court Judge, Aslam Zainuddin, dismissed the plea for his acquittal after allowing the prosecution's preliminary objection to the petition filed by Danish Raman on August 5th. The court upheld the prosecution's objection, ruling that the petition for Danish Raman's acquittal was irregular and not in accordance with the provisions of the Courts of Justice Act 1964.

Danish Raman, 24, sought to have the charges against him dismissed on the grounds that the prosecution's case against him was malicious and unreasonable, and also violated Articles 5 and 8 of the Federal Constitution.
