PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal overturned a High Court decision to acquit a 54-year-old man of murdering his father on grounds of unsoundness of mind, ordering that he be called to enter his defence.
A three-judge panel led by Justice Datuk Azman Abdullah, on Tuesday (Sept 2), ruled that the High Court erred when acquitting Phang Kar Foong at the close of the prosecution's case on the ground that he was insane, without first requiring him to enter his defence.
