No evidence ex-pathologist masterminded DPP's murder, appeals court told


PUTRAJAYA: There is no evidence to show that former pathologist colonel doctor Dr R. Kunaseegaran was the mastermind for the murder of deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Datuk Anthony Kevin Morais eight years ago, the Court of Appeal was told on Monday (Dec 4).

Lawyer Datuk N.Sivananthan, representing Kunaseegaran, told a three-man panel of the Court of Appeal, comprising Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail, Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim and Datuk Azmi Ariffin, that there was nothing in the evidence to show there was a prior pre-planned meeting between his client and any of the other accused persons to commit the murder.
