KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney-General’s Chambers has filed a notice of appeal to reverse the High Court’s decision to acquitting Samirah Muzaffar and two teenagers from the charge of murdering Cradle Fund chief executive officer Nazrin Hassan.
“We are appealing against the decision of the High Court,” Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun told Bernama via WhatsApp yesterday.Meanwhile, deputy public prosecutor Tengku Intan Suraya Tengku Ismail said the notice of appeal was filed on Wednesday through e-filing.
The prosecution had 14 days to file a notice of appeal to have the Court of Appeal overturn the High Court’s verdict.
On June 21, the Shah Alam High Court freed Samirah, 47, and two teenagers, now aged 19 and 16, from the charge of murdering Nazrin, 45, after finding that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case at the end of the prosecution’s case against the trio.
Samirah and the two teenagers as well as an Indonesian woman, Eka Wahyu Lestari, who is still at large, were charged with murdering Nazrin at his house in Mutiara Damansara on June 13, 2018.
