TAWAU (June 11): The High Court Wednesday postponed to July 23 its decision on the case involving 13 male students of Kolej Vokasional Lahad Datu, who are jointly charged with the murder of their college mate Mohamad Nazmie Aizzat Mohd Narul Azwan, last year. The verdict, initially scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed to allow for clarification related to the submissions, according to deputy public prosecutor, Nur Nisla Abdul Latif. She said that both prosecution and defence had filed their written submissions. The prosecution had filed a total of 366 pages of written submission. 'The defence team, comprising eight lawyers, has also filed their submissions,' she told reporters at the High Court, here, today. On May 14, High Court Judge Datuk Duncan Sikodol had set Wednesday to decide on the Mohamad Nazmie Aizzat murder case. However, a notice issued by the High Court on Tuesday (June 10) informed parties of the rescheduling. On Feb 28, Duncan ordered the 13 teenagers, aged 16 to 19, to enter their defence on the charge of murdering Mohamad Nazmie Aizzat, 17, in the dormitory rooms 7 Resak and 5 Belian at the Lahad Datu Vocational College, between 9pm on March 21 and 7.38am on March 22, 2024. They were charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, read together with Section 34 of the same Code which carries the death penalty, or up to 40 years' imprisonment and not more than 12 strokes of the cane, if convicted. The defence proceedings began on March 10, with 18 witnesses, including all 13 accused, called to testify. The prosecution had earlier opened its case on Nov 19 last year, calling 25 witnesses, including students and teachers from the vocational college. Apart from Nur Nisla, the prosecution team also includes DPPs Ng Juhn Tao and Batrisyia Mohd Khusri. Eight of the students were represented by lawyers Datuk Ram Singh, Kamarudin Mohmad Chinki and Chen Wen Jye, while five others were represented by lawyers Mohamed Zairi Zainal Abidin, Abdul Ghani Zelika, Vivian Thien, Jhesseny P. Kang and Kusni Ambotuwo. – Bernama

Housewife loses RM521,450 in bogus investment introduced by neighbour
GEORGE TOWN: A 57-year-old housewife lost more than half a million ringgit after falling victim to a fraudulent investment scheme introduced by a neighbour. Penang police chief Datuk Hamzah Ahmad said the woman was tricked into investing RM521,450 in a bogus scheme that promised high returns in a short period. In her report, the victim claimed that in 2022, her neighbour introduced her to the scheme. Hamzah said the victim further stated that her neighbour had introduced her to a woman who posed as a marketing officer. "This woman allegedly explained to the victim that the investment would offer a 100 per cent return on capital within one month. "The victim was convinced and began making payments between March 4, 2022, and Jan 22, 2024, in 51 transactions totalling RM521,450 to five different bank accounts. "She only realised she had been scammed when she attempted to withdraw the promised profits but kept receiving various excuses from the suspect. "One excuse given was that the investment had not yet matured, and the victim was told her capital was safely stored in Bank Negara Malaysia," he said in a statement today. To make matters worse, the victim was asked to make additional payments, allegedly to cover legal fees and processing costs to retrieve her capital and profits," he added. Realising she had been deceived, the victim lodged a police report with the Seberang Prai Utara district Commercial Crime Investigation Department. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
