Federal Court to deliver verdict on final appeal of six men convicted in DPP Kevin Morais murder tomorrow
The decision will be handed down by a three-member bench led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, sitting with Court of Appeal President Tan Sri Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim and Federal Court judge Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang.
The judges had reserved their judgment on May 14, after hearing submissions from the prosecution and defence.
Jasmine Cheong, one of the lawyers representing former pathologist Colonel Dr R. Kunaseegaran, told Bernama that the court notified the date for the decision this morning.
Kunaseegaran, 62, along with S. Ravi Chandran, 54, and four others — R. Dinishwaran, 33; A.K. Thinesh Kumar, 32; M. Vishwanath, 35; and S. Nimalan, 32 — were convicted by the Kuala Lumpur High Court in July 2020 for the murder of Morais, 55.
The Court of Appeal upheld the conviction in a ruling delivered on March 14 last year.
The murder took place at a location along Jalan Dutamas Raya Sentul and Jalan USJ 1/6D, Subang Jaya, between 7 am and 8 pm on September 4, 2015.
Morais was last seen leaving in a Proton Perdana Car from his Menara Duta condominium, Kuala Lumpur, to his office at the Attorney-General's Chambers in Putrajaya.
His body was found in a concrete-filled drum at Persiaran Subang Mewah, Subang Jaya, on September 16 of the same year. — BERNAMA

Federal Court upholds 35-year sentence for 2012 murder of Indonesian cleaner
PUTRAJAYA: A 42-year-old man has lost his final appeal against a 35-year prison sentence and 12 strokes of the cane for the 2012 murder of an Indonesian domestic cleaner. The Federal Court upheld the earlier rulings, dismissing claims of insanity. Khairul Azizi Abdul Jalil had been convicted of killing Aidah Tursinawati, 43, in Ipoh, Perak, in 2017. He accused her of speaking ill of him before the attack. The Ipoh High Court initially sentenced him to death, but the Court of Appeal later commuted the penalty to imprisonment and caning. A three-judge Federal Court panel, led by Justice Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan, ruled that psychiatric evidence was lawfully admitted during the trial. The court found no miscarriage of justice, noting that the accused had ample opportunity to present his defence. Khairul Azizi had claimed insanity, citing schizophrenia, but conflicting medical reports weakened his case. A 2018 evaluation suggested he was of unsound mind, but a later assessment by Dr Ian Lloyd Anthony concluded he was mentally fit during the crime. Defence lawyer Mohd Fitri Asmuni argued that psychiatric evidence should not have been introduced early in the trial. Prosecutors, however, maintained that the accused's mental state was directly relevant to the case. The Federal Court ultimately sided with the prosecution, affirming the conviction and sentence. - Bernama

Man fails final appeal against 35-year sentence for 2012 murder of cleaner
PUTRAJAYA: A 42-year-old man today failed in his final appeal to overturn his conviction and sentence of 35 years' imprisonment and 12 strokes of the cane for the 2012 murder of an Indonesian domestic cleaner, whom he had accused of speaking ill of him. A three-member panel of the Federal Court comprising Justices Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan, Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang and Datuk Hanipah Farikullah on Tuesday (July 8), unanimously dismissed the appeal by Khairul Azizi Abdul Jalil, upholding the decisions of both the High Court and Court of Appeal. Delivering the judgment, Justice Nallini held that the prosecution was lawfully entitled to adduce psychiatric evidence in the course of establishing a prima facie case, and not solely in rebuttal, where such evidence was necessary and relevant to establishing the elements of the offence. She further ruled that no miscarriage of justice had occurred, particularly as the prosecution had called Dr Ian Lloyd Anthony, a Special Forensic Psychiatrist, whose evidence was properly admitted. She added that the appellant had failed to establish the defence of insanity on a balance of probabilities. Upon a comprehensive assessment of the evidence, the Court found the conviction to be safe and held that the appellant had been afforded full opportunity to present his defence without any procedural unfairness. Khairul Azizi, who was managing his father's homestay before his arrest, was convicted and sentenced to death by the Ipoh High Court in December 2022 for the murder of Aidah Tursinawati, 43, at a house in Kampung Tersusun Tasek, Ipoh, Perak, at approximately 3.25 pm on Oct 9, 2017. High Court Judge Su Tiang Joo held that Khairul Azizi had failed to discharge the burden of proving, on a balance of probabilities, that he was of unsound mind and incapable of understanding the nature of his act at the material time. In June last year, the Court of Appeal upheld the conviction but allowed the appeal against the sentence, commuting the death penalty to 35 years' imprisonment and 12 strokes of the cane. Subsequently, Khairul Azizi appealed to the Federal Court seeking an acquittal. A central issue in the appeal concerned the admissibility of psychiatric evidence adduced by the prosecution during its case-in-chief. The prosecution had called Dr Ian to testify as to the appellant's mental condition before the defence formally raised insanity. Khairul Azizi had raised the defence of insanity at an early stage of the investigation and was referred to Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta for psychiatric evaluation under a Magistrate's order. A 2018 medical report by a senior consultant forensic psychiatrist concluded that he was suffering from schizophrenia and was of unsound mind at the time of the offence. However, pursuant to a subsequent evaluation ordered by the High Court, the prosecution tendered a certificate dated Feb 19, 2019, issued by the Medical Director of Hospital Bahagia, which was accompanied by a report from Dr Ian, who concluded that Khairul Azizi was of sound mind and fit to plead. Confronted with two conflicting psychiatric assessments regarding the appellant's mental state at the material time, the trial judge accepted Dr Ian's expert opinion and rejected the defence of insanity. Defence counsel Mohd Fitri Asmuni contended that it was procedurally irregular for the prosecution to adduce psychiatric evidence during its case-in-chief, arguing that the burden of establishing insanity rests with the defence and that rebuttal evidence should only be led after the defence closes its case. The prosecution, however, countered that there is no legal bar preventing the prosecution from calling a psychiatrist during its case-in-chief where the mental condition of the accused is directly relevant to the elements of the charge. At Tuesday's hearing, the prosecution was represented by deputy public prosecutors Muhamad Iskandar Ahmad, Tengku Shahrizam Tuan Lah, Ng Siew Wee and Mohd Arif Aizuddin Masrom. – Bernama

First refugee database with biometric registration to be launched nationwide
KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry will roll out a nationwide refugee registration programme and set up a new agency to centralise border enforcement, as part of efforts to tighten migration control and improve cross-border management. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the Refugee Registration Database Programme (DPP) will be coordinated by the National Security Council (NSC) and implemented through the Immigration Department. The initiative marks Malaysia's first attempt at building its own refugee database. He said the aim is to enhance data credibility and streamline administration, noting that current processes are dependent on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which often results in slow data sharing. 'To speed up our response to refugee-related issues, the NSC has directed the Home Ministry to carry out data collection and registration using our own infrastructure,' he said at the INTAN Minister's Conversation 2025 yesterday. As of June this year, UNHCR has verified around 94,000 individuals in Malaysia, although more than 180,000 cards have been issued, most of them held by Rohingya refugees. To date, the Home Ministry has piloted biometric registration in immigration depots and has enrolled nearly 37,000 individuals under the new system. He stressed that the method involves secure biometric capture, not manual forms, to ensure data reliability. More than 70 Immigration offices across the country will be involved in the nationwide rollout once procurement is finalised. Meanwhile, Saifuddin said the ministry's use of artificial intelligence (AI) has identified drug abuse as the main cause of crime in Malaysia, with 80% of prison admissions linked to drug offences. He said three key offences under the Dangerous Drugs Act emerged as the most common: drug use under Section 15(1), drug possession under Section 12(2) and habitual offenders under Section 39C. Saifuddin said AI was used to analyse over 1.2 million crime reports, revealing that the offences are the most common charges under the Act. 'It was revealed that those charged with drug use were statistically likely to commit up to 31 other offences. That tells us clearly – if we want to address the root of the crime, we must go straight to drug-related offences. 'We cannot treat drug abuse solely as a criminal issue. It's a public health problem with wider consequences,' he added. AI is also being used across agencies to improve enforcement, with officers from the police, Immigration Department and National Anti-Drugs Agency now undergoing training at UKM, UiTM and MIMOS Berhad. 'We're not inventing new AI, but we're applying existing tools to solve real problems from border congestion to repeat offenders.' As part of the refugee data initiative, Saifuddin said the Agensi Kawalan Pintu Sempadan (AKPS) was launched to streamline overlapping roles previously handled by immigration, the Customs Department and police. 'Some checkpoints have up to 20 agencies operating with little coordination. AKPS will centralise enforcement for smoother control and better service delivery.' AKPS has begun operations at selected land, sea and air checkpoints, with phased expansion underway. Saifuddin said not all of Malaysia's 120-plus official checkpoints will be included immediately in the exercise, but key border points are a priority.
