Federal Court upholds medical assistant's acquittal over murder of school clerk

PUTRAJAYA: A hospital medical assistant heaved a sigh of relief on Tuesday (Nov 23) after the Federal Court upheld his acquittal over the murder of a woman religious school clerk in Bukit Pasir, Muar, six years ago.

Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, who led a three-member panel, said there was no error made by the High Court and Court of Appeal judges in ruling that the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case against Zurailie Muhamad, 36.
