Judgment on Soosai's case on July 8

KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court fixed July 8 to deliver the judgment in the case of a Kuala Lumpur Hospital (KLH) attendant and two others charged with forging the death certificate of wanted criminal Michael Soosai.

Judge Mohamad Sekeri Mamat set the date after hearing submissions from the prosecution and defence at the end of defence's case.

The prosecution had called in 24 witnesses including S Pallipillamah, the only witness who had told the court that she saw Soosai alive in Madras, South India.

Pallipillamah of Puchong also lodged a police report alleging Soosai had link with her husband's murder in Madras.

The defence, beside calling all the three accused, had also called Soosai's wife S Kumari, 45, who informed the court that she identified her husband's body and then gave permission to her daughter's former fiance, J Kumaresan, to handle the cremation.

She had also told the court that she was informed that her husband's death was due to a heart problem and that she was present when her husband's body was cremated at a crematorium in Cheras.

HKL attendant K Subramaniam, 33, and another person who is still at large, were charged with cheating Dr Wan Mohamed Zamri Wan Nawawi, 45, to induce him to issue the death certificate for Soosai at the HKL mortuary between 11am and 3pm on Sept 12, 2003.

On the second, third and fourth charge, Subramaniam, and another person still at large, were charged with falsifying the hospital's mortuary records dated Sept 12, 2003, Soosai's death certificate and burial permit for the purpose of cheating.

Kumaresan and scrap metal trader V Sanjeev Kumar were charged with abetment in all the offences.

All accused were represented by counsel Naran Singh and Hasnal Rezua Merican while DPP Syed Faisal Syed Amir appeared for prosecution.
