: A 22-year-old man has filed an appeal at the Federal Court against his conviction and an order that he be placed in detention at the pleasure of the Yang-di-Pertuan Agong for the murder of 23 people in a fire at the Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah Tahfiz Centre in 2017.
On Sept 11 this year, the Court of Appeal's three-member bench comprising Justices Datuk Abu Bakar Jais, Datuk Che Mohd Ruzima Ghazali and Datuk See Mun Chun dismissed the youth’s appeal and upheld his conviction and prison sentence. The same panel also dismissed the prosecution’s appeal against the High Court’s decision in acquitting and discharging another man , also aged 22, of the murder without calling for his defence.
On Aug 17, 2020, the High Court found PKK1 guilty of the murder offence and ordered him to be detained at the pleasure of the Yang-di-Pertuan Agong. On the same day, the High Court acquitted PKK2 on the murder charge.
