KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — The Shah Alam Magistrate’s Court has set April 19 as the new case mention date for a lorry driver charged with murdering his Thai girlfriend by pushing the woman off the 23rd floor of a condominium in Setia Alam in February this year.
When contacted today, counsel Sivahnanthan Ragava, representing V. Nathan, 37, said the case would be mentioned before Magistrate Mohamad Redza Azhar Rezali at 9am on the date.
The court previously set June 7 for a mention; however, a new date was reset due to a new development in the case.
Nathan was charged with killing Mawika Lumyai, 32, at a condominium along Jalan Setia Dagang AH U13/AH Setia Alam at 10.02pm on February 28.
The charge, framed under Section 302 of the Penal Code, provides the death penalty or imprisonment for up to 40 years and 12 strokes of the cane, if not sentenced to death, upon conviction.
