An Indonesian man was charged at the Magistrates' Court here today on three counts of murder.
Former farmworker, Mohamad Rozak Nor, 20, merely nodded in acknowledgment of having understood all the charges read out separately before Magistrate Tan Chai Wei, and no plea was recorded.
He was accused of murdering three of his compatriots, namely Hari Sucipto, 19, Ramdani Sahrul, 20, and Gunawan Pani, 20 at the workers’ quarters of Ladang Chin Fatt, Kampung Gedok, Gemencheh, Tampin between 10.40 and 11 pm, Dec 5, 2019.
The charges were brought under Section 302 of the Penal Code which carries the death penalty upon conviction.
DPP Ummi Amyra Natasha Azhar prosecuted, while the accused was unrepresented.
No bail was allowed and the court set July 23 for the submission of documentation and autopsy reports.
