Sodomy II postponed after Karpal’s brother’s death

KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy trial has been postponed to Monday after the court was informed today that defence counsel Karpal Singh’s youngest brother had died last night.

Trial judge Datuk Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah made the decision after being informed by another defence counsel, Sankara Nair, that Karpal would have to attend 11 ceremonies as part of the funeral rites in accordance with Sikh customs.

“I received a call from Mr Karpal at around 11pm yesterday, and he told me... he left for Penang last night itself.

“Mr Karpal will be occupied with (his brother’s) funeral until Monday as there are elaborate rituals to complete,” said Sankara.

It is likely that Mohd Zabidin will deliver a decision on the prosecution’s two applications next week after the defence presents its submissions-in-reply on Monday.
