Prosecution cites four grounds to convict four accused in T. Nhaveen murder case

The prosecution has presented four grounds to seek the conviction of four men accused in T. Nhaveen's 2017 murder case, arguing that their defense failed to raise reasonable doubt and contained inconsistencies with their earlier accounts. Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohd Amril Johari said the accused were required to raise reasonable doubt during the investigation and at the preliminary stage, failing which their defense would be deemed an afterthought.

Amril also pointed out that the accused did not explicitly deny being present at Padang Openg or Jalan Kaki Bukit, but rather stated that they had only engaged in a scuffle or argument. The prosecution highlighted discrepancies between the accused's statements and Nhaveen's mother's testimony, where she identified the voice of accused J Ragesuthen, also known as Raga, on a telephone call.

The defense contested the reliability of one of the prosecution's key witnesses, Previin, who gave varying accounts of the number of attackers involved, from four to 20. They also questioned Nhaveen's fatal injuries, suggesting they might have been sustained at a different location after the incident. Justice Datuk Mohd Radzi Abdul Hamid scheduled a case management session for November 16 to address further submissions and determine if additional written arguments are needed.
