The Federal Court will deliver its verdict tomorrow on the final appeals by six men convicted and sentenced to death for the 2015 murder of deputy public prosecutor Kevin Morais.
The decision will be handed down by a three-member bench led by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, sitting with Court of Appeal president Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim and Federal Court judge Rhodzariah Bujang.
The judges reserved their judgment on May 14, after hearing submissions from the prosecution and defence.
Jasmine Cheong, one of the lawyers representing former pathologist Dr R Kunaseegaran, told Bernama that the court notified them of the date for the decision this morning.
Kunaseegaran, 62, was convicted of Morais’s murder in July 2020 by the Kuala Lumpur High Court, together with S Ravi Chandran, 54; R Dinishwaran, 33; AK Thinesh Kumar, 32; M Vishwanath, 35; and S Nimalan, 32.
The Court of Appeal upheld their convictions on March 14 last year.
The murder took place somewhere along Jalan Dutamas Raya Sentul and Jalan USJ 1/6D, Subang Jaya, between 7am and 8pm on Sept 4, 2015.
Morais was last seen in a Proton Perdana, leaving his Menara Duta condominium in Kuala Lumpur for his office at the Attorney-General’s Chambers in Putrajaya.
His body was found in a concrete-filled drum at Persiaran Subang Mewah, Subang Jaya, on Sept 16, 2015.
