A man has pleaded not guilty to causing the death of his elder brother in Selayang last year, with the court granting him bail under strict conditions.
SELAYANG: A 31-year-old man pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court here today to a charge of causing the death of his elder brother last year.
M Kubendran was charged with causing the death of 36-year-old M Kagendran with the intention of causing bodily injury likely to result in death at Selayang Baru, Batu Caves, at 3.40 am on Dec 2, 2025.
The charge was framed under Section 304(a) of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years’ imprisonment and a fine upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Nurilya Ellyna Nor Azmal did not offer bail as the offence is non-bailable, but defence counsel K Kisho applied for bail on the grounds that his client supports his family and wife.
Judge Norazlin Othman allowed the accused to be released on RM20,000 bail with two sureties, imposing additional conditions that he report to the nearest police station and not disturb witnesses until the case is concluded.
The court has set May 4 for the next mention of the case.
