Air-Conditioning Sub-Contractor Gets Death For Murdering Younger Brother In Property Dispute


SHAH ALAM: An air-conditioning sub-contractor who murdered
his younger brother over a property row two years ago was sentenced to death by
the High Court here.
Judge Datuk Zulkifli Bakar meted out the sentence on M.
Nageswaran, 41, after finding that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt
on the charge at the end of the trial.
According to the charge sheet, Nageswaran, from Jalan Kota
Raja in Klang, was charged with killing 37-year-old Gunalan at a house in
Kampung Jawa at about 5.30pm on May 5, 2015.
The offence under Section 302 of the Penal Code provides for
death penalty upon conviction.

In his judgment Friday, Judge Zulkifli said that
Nageswaran’s defence was a mere denial, which also accused the deceased’s wife
as the killer or the person who caused death.
By taking into consideration all aspects of findings, he
said the court found that the accused’s defence was coated with afterthoughts
that could not be accepted.
“Therefore, the court found that the prosecution had
succeeded in proving the case beyond reasonable doubt, and found the accused
guilty as charged.
“You are hereby sentenced to death under Section 302 of the
Penal Code,” he said.
Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Fairuz Johari prosecuted while
Nageswaran was represented by counsel S. Ravichandran.
A total of 15 prosecution witnesses and one defence witness
testified throughout the trial.
Gunalan’s wife, who did not wish to be name, lauded the
judgment. 
“One must be punished for the crime he does.
“I am still distraught thinking how could he resort to
murder his own brother until this day,” she said when met outside the court. – The Star Online
