  "summary": "The High Court in George Town has set October 14 for the defence closing submissions in the murder trial of four men accused of killing teenager T. Nhaveen nine years ago. The proceedings, which began on October 9, concluded earlier than expected, prompting Judge Datuk Mohd Radzi Abdul Hamid to set the date for the defence case. The charges against the accused men, J. Ragesuthen, S. Gokulan, and two teenagers, involve Section 302 and Section 326 of the Penal Code. Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Amril Johari questioned the testimony of the last accused, a teenager at the time of the incident, who claimed he was beaten with a helmet by Nhaveen's friend, T. Previin. The prosecutor also raised concerns about the absence of a medical report supporting the alleged injuries and questioned why this was not raised earlier. The prosecution is being led by Mohd Amril, Yazid Mustaqim Roslan, and Noor Azura Zulkiflee, while the accused are represented by Maanveer Singh Dhillon, R. Thevan, and Lim Sheng Zhe.",
