SHAH ALAM: A farm hand jailed for disposing the remains of Sosilawati Lawiya and three others told the High Court that he wanted to replace his counsel.
U Suresh, 27, told judge Mohtarudin Baki this as he was hearing arguments by Harpal Singh Grewal, counsel for another farm hand.
The High Court was hearing the review of sentence and conviction of farm hand K Sarawanan.
Suresh was jailed seven years in October last year for disposing the remains of cosmetics millionaire Sosilawati, 47, and three others.
The three were CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, and driver Kamaruddin Shamsuddin, 44.
Sarawanan, 20, was also jailed seven years for disposing the remains of Sosilawati and three others.
Suresh, who was represented by counsel M Puravelan, said he wanted to appoint Sarawanan’s counsel AS Dhaliwal as his counsel.
When asked by Mohtarudin whether he accepted it, Dhaliwal said he needed five minutes to get instruction form Suresh.
Mohtarudin then adjourned sitting for five minutes.
On resumption, Dhaliwal told the court: “I received instruction from Suresh he wants to lodge a police report for his own safety.”
Puravelan left the court minutes later. Mohtarudin fixed the review hearing for Feb 9.
