KOTA KINABALU: The Coroner’s Court has granted leave for the prosecution to initiate contempt proceedings against Parti Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal over remarks made during a speech that allegedly interfered with an ongoing inquest into the death of schoolgirl Zara Qairina Mahathir.
Sessions Court Judge Amir Shah Amir Hassan, who is sitting as Coroner, ruled that there was a prima facie case for contempt of court after hearing and reviewing the submissions by Deputy Public Prosecutors Mohamad Mustaffa P. Kunyalan and Nadia Mohd Izhar at the Kota Kinabalu courts here.
