A businessperson has been charged with the murder of security guard S Thava Sagayam.
Ahmad Noor Azhar Muhammad had previously been charged in January with assaulting Thava Sagayam - who later died on Aug 27.
The charge under Section 335 of the Penal Code was discharged not amounting to an acquittal, after a fresh charge under Section 302 of the same law for murder was brought.
Berita Harian reported that the new charge was read out at the Magistrates’ Court in Ipoh, Perak before magistrate Noor Azreen Liana Mohd Darus.
No plea was recorded today, and the court has set Oct 18 for case re-mention.
Thava Sagayam was assaulted on Dec 29 last year while on duty.
He spent the next eight months fighting for his life only to pass away on Aug 27. - Mkini
