KUALA LUMPUR – Three men were charged in the magistrates’ court here today over the death of a man in a hotel in Bukit Bintang here last week.
T. Muniswaran, 49; S. Katharavello, 52; and Mohd Zulbihar Ali Khan Kamaldin, 48, were jointly charged with murdering S. Prabah, 49, in a room at Capitol Hotel, Jalan Bulan off Jalan Bukit Bintang here between 6.05pm and 6.40pm on May 3.
They were charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same law, and face the death sentence, if found guilty.
All of them nodded after the charge was read out to them before Magistrate Wong Chai Sia, but no plea was recorded as the case comes under the jurisdiction of the high court.
The court then set July 13 for mention for submission of the chemist report.
Deputy public prosecutor Phulrani Kaur prosecuted, while all the accused were unrepresented.
It was previously reported that a murder which took place at a Bukit Bintang hotel was the result of a narcotics deal gone wrong.
This after police were alerted to the hotel by staff last Tuesday evening, when they discovered the body of a man with a gunshot wound to his head. – Bernama, May 13, 2022
