Federal Court to Deliver Verdict on Six Men's Murder Conviction Appeal

The Federal Court is scheduled to deliver its verdict on the final appeal of six men convicted of the murder of deputy public prosecutor Datuk Anthony Kevin Morais. The court had reserved its judgment on May 14 after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defence.
Verdict Awaited on Final Appeal

A three-member bench of the Federal Court, led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, will announce its decision. The bench also includes Court of Appeal President Tan Sri Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim and Federal Court judge Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang. The date for the verdict was communicated to the legal teams involved.
Background of the Conviction

The six individuals, identified as former pathologist Colonel Dr R. Kunaseegaran, S. Ravi Chandran, R. Dinishwaran, A.K. Thinesh Kumar, M. Vishwanath, and S. Nimalan, were initially convicted by the Kuala Lumpur High Court in July 2020. They were found guilty of the murder of Datuk Anthony Kevin Morais, who was 55 years old at the time of his death.
Previous Appellate Rulings

The conviction was subsequently upheld by the Court of Appeal in a ruling delivered on March 14 of the previous year. This means the lower appellate court affirmed the High Court's decision regarding the guilt of the six men.
Details of the Murder

The murder of Datuk Anthony Kevin Morais occurred on September 4, 2015. His body was discovered 12 days later, on September 16, 2015, encased in a concrete-filled drum. The crime took place at locations along Jalan Dutamas Raya Sentul and Jalan USJ 1/6D, Subang Jaya, within a specific timeframe on the day of the murder.
