Insufficient funds, so lawyer got rid of Sosilawati and friends, court told


SHAH ALAM: The Shah Alam High Court was told Friday that ex-lawyer N. Pathmanabhan's motive for getting rid of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others was because he did not have sufficient money to clear a cheque for RM3mil that was to be paid to the cosmetics millionaire on Sept 9, 2010.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Saiful Edris Zainuddin said that Patmanabhan, the first accused in the murder case of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others, was under tremendous pressure to come up with a big amount of money and that he knew he would never be able to come up with the money.
