KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 (Bernama) -- Six Myanmar nationals were acquitted and discharged by the High Court here Tuesday for the murder of their countryman three years ago.
Judge Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah, in his judgment, said the identification of the six accused was most unsatisfactory and therefore, it was not safe to call them for defence.
"The prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case against all the accused and, therefore, they are acquitted and discharged without calling for their defence," he added.
In the dock were Van Duh Chung, 26; Hassan Ali Juhar, 21; Mohd Abbas Mohd Hussain, 22; Nur Alan Hussain, 24,; Yusof, 36, and Kokoo Ibrahim, 22.
The were alleged to have committed the offence at a house at Jalan Batu Hampar, Taman Batu View, Jalan Ipoh, about 5am on Dec 25, 2007.
Deputy public prosecutor Yaacob Cik appeared for the prosecution, while lawyers K. Vikneswaran and Ameenuddin Ibrahim represented all the accused.
