A-GC appeals sentence imposed on policeman in Form Five student's death

The Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) has appealed the sentence imposed on a senior police officer in connection with the death of Form Five student Muhammad Zaharif Affendi Muhd Zamrie. The High Court had sentenced the officer to seven years and six months in prison for causing the student's death. The appeal was filed at the Court of Appeal last week, and the prosecution plans to review all aspects of the case, including the possibility of reinstating the original murder charge.

The A-GC's decision to appeal indicates their intention to challenge the ruling and explore all legal avenues to secure a more favorable outcome for the prosecution.
