  "account": "One of the four men accused of murdering teenager T. Nhaveen nine years ago claimed in a High Court hearing that he did not attack Nhaveen and his friend. J. Ragesuthen, 27, stated that the altercation began with a scuffle between his friend and T. Previin, who was also a victim, and that he intervened to prevent further aggression. Ragesuthen said that Previin struck his friend with a helmet, causing him to lose consciousness, and that two other accused friends arrived to break up the fight. He claimed that they then helped transport the injured friend to safety. Ragesuthen admitted to mocking Nhaveen earlier with another accused at a burger stall, but denied continuing the attack on Nhaveen at Padang Openg.",
