SEREMBAN: A 17-year-old car driver who allegedly caused the deaths of three young motorcyclists due to reckless driving will file a representation to review the charge.
Lawyer for the accused Johan Radzi told this to magistrate Nurul Azuin Mohd Talhah when the case came up for mention on Wednesday (May 21).
"We will file a representation after we get the relevant documents from the prosecution," he said.
On April 22, the accused had claimed trial to the charge.
The accused was charged with committing the offence at the Taman Matahari junction along Jalan Persiaran Senawang 1 near here around 8.30pm on March 6.
He was charged with causing the deaths of Muhammad Aidil Ramdan Abdullah, 15, Muhammad Aswari Lotpi, 16 and Aisar Azim Abdullah, 17.
The charge under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 carries a jail term of between five and 10 years and a fine of between RM20,000 and RM50,000 upon conviction.
The accused had also claimed trial to another charge of driving without a valid license.
He was charged under Section 26(1) of the same Act, which carries a fine of between RM300 and RM2,000 or imprisonment of up to three months or both upon conviction.
Johan said his client will also be filing a representation for this charge.
Magistrate Nurul Azuin then fixed June 26 to hear the outcome of the representation.
