THE seventh accused in the murder of deputy public prosecutor Anthony Kevin Morais told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today that he was offered RM3.5 million by former prime minister Najib Razak to admit guilt.
S. Ravi Chandaran, 47, also told the court that the offer was made through a prisons’ officer and besides this, he also received an offer from Kevin Morais’ younger brother, Richard, to do the same.
Ravi Chandaran, who is the defence’s sixth witness, said this when cross-examined by counsel N. Sivananthan who is representing military pathologist Col Dr R. Kunaseegaran, during the proceedings on the 24th day of the defence’s case.
Sivananthan: You said Dr Kunaseegaran offered RM1.5 million for you to admit guilt. This was done on December 29, 2017.
Ravi Chandaran: True.
Sivananthan: You also lodged a police report that on January 26, 2018, Richard Morais offered RM2 million to you to plead guilty.
Ravi Chandaran: Yes, true.
Sivananthan: In the same report, you said in February 2018, there was a prisons’ officer who offered you RM3.5 million to plead guilty on behalf of Najib Tun Razak.
Ravi Chandaran: Yes, true.
