Court postpones decision on Lahad Datu vocational college murder case to July 23


TAWAU: The High Court has postponed to July 23 its decision on the case involving 13 male students of Kolej Vokasional Lahad Datu, who are jointly charged with the murder of their college mate Mohamad Nazmie Aizzat Mohd Narul Azwan.

The verdict, initially scheduled on Wednesday (June 11), was postponed to allow for clarification related to submissions, according to Deputy Public Prosecutor Nur Nisla Abdul Latif.

She said both the prosecution and defence had filed their written submissions. The prosecution had filed a total of 366 pages of written submission.

"The defence team, comprising eight lawyers, has also filed their submissions," she told reporters at the High Court, here, on Wednesday.

On May 14, High Court Judge Datuk Duncan Sikodol set June 11 to decide on the Mohamad Nazmie Aizzat murder case. However, a notice issued by the High Court on Tuesday (June 10) informed parties of the rescheduling. – Bernama
