SEREMBAN: A 56-year-old woman was acquitted and discharged without her defence being called by the High Court here for the alleged murder of her mother four years ago.

Judge Datuk Azman Abdullah, in acquitting M. Chinnammah, said the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case against her for the murder of M. Pichai, who was 70 when the crime was allegedly committed.
