Youth fails to strike out murder charge over Jalan Ampang crash
High Court allows the prosecution's preliminary objection to college student Danish Raman Kamar Kumaresan's application to strike out the charge.
Danish Raman Kamar Kumaresan, a college student, was recently denied the opportunity to have murder charges against him dismissed by the High Court. The incident occurred four months prior when Danish caused the death of a married couple in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. The pair, A Doraisingam, 61, and A Menagah, 56, suffered fatal head injuries after their motorcycle was struck from behind by Danish's motorcycle.
Danish, then 24, faced a charge under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries the death penalty or 30 to 40 years imprisonment, along with at least 12 lashes if convicted. Despite claiming that the charge was unjust and a breach of his constitutional rights, Danish's application was dismissed by Justice Aslam Zainuddin, who deemed the prosecution's preliminary objection valid and the charge irregular.
The proceedings saw attendance from Deputy Public Prosecutor Fadhly Zamry and Danish's attorney, Donald Selvam.
