PUTRAJAYA: A former trailer lorry driver found guilty of dangerous driving that caused the deaths of four people five years ago has been granted leave by the Court of Appeal to pursue an appeal against his conviction and sentence.
A three-member bench led by Justice Datuk Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, along with Justices Datuk Azmi Ariffin and Ong Chee Kwan, allowed Y. Vethri Vel’s application for leave to appeal the High Court’s decision, which had doubled his prison term to eight years and imposed heavier fines.
