00:00The Court of Appeal has ruled that four accused must enter their defense to the murder of
00:06T. Naveen, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the case against them three years
00:11ago.
00:12The case will now return to the High Court in Georgetown, where they will be asked to
00:16enter their defense.
00:18A three-judge panel comprising Justices Cherouzima Ghazali, Zaini Mazlan, and Nuremba Darudin
00:24ruled that the prosecution had proven a prima facie case against the accused to warrant
00:28the calling of their defense.
00:31Rouzima said the panel agreed with the arguments raised by the prosecutors and found that the
00:35High Court judge erred in rejecting their case.
00:38The panel further ordered that the accused be placed in remand pending trial.
00:43The four individuals were acquitted in 2023, giving rise to the present appeal.
00:49They are charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code for Naveen's murder, who died
00:53in 2017 following a brutal attack by a group of teenagers at a park in Bukit Galugor.
