Seven in murder case walk free


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has absolved the husband of property agent Datin Renyce Wong from involvement in her murder but held that his failure to testify in the trial of the seven accused helped all of them to go scot free.

Judge Justice Azman Abdullah, who acquitted and discharged the seven over the gruesome murder in Taman OUG last year, held that the chain of evidence in the case had been broken because the husband, Datuk Wong Chun Keen, did not turn up to give evidence.
