  "summary": "Four men have been charged with the murder of businessman Low Kai Xian, whose body was discovered in a river on August 3. The accused, including lorry driver Yogesvaran Subramaniam, lorry attendants Lim Yong Ming and Achuthan Nagarajan, and used-car dealer How Han Wei, all appeared in the Magistrate's Court without legal representation. The charges stem from the victim's disappearance on July 29 and subsequent discovery of his body in Sungai Tanjung Sembrong. If convicted, the four could face the death penalty or up to 40 years in prison. The prosecution is awaiting the completion of post-mortem, DNA, CCTV, and mobile phone forensic reports before setting a new mention date.",
