No plea was recorded from the trio, who nodded when asked whether they understood the charge.
They did not show any emotion when they were charged before magistrate Mohamad Ibrahim Mohammad Ghulam at 10.45am yesterday.
During the proceedings, one of the deceased’s family members used her cell phone to take photos of the accused.
A court policeman who spotted this, immediately seized her cell phone.
At the outset, the trio’s lawyer, P. Sutheswary applied for the prosecution to supply documents saying that the defence may make a representation to the Attorney-General’s Chambers over the charge.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Siti Fatimah Yahya asked the defence lawyer to send a letter.
S. Thisinayagam applied to hold a watching brief for the deceased’s family in the proceedings and this was granted by the magistrate.
The magistrate set Sept 23 for mention.
Lingam and his family had offered a RM50,000 reward to anyone who could provide information leading to the arrest of those involved in Rajendram’s death.
