00:10in the murder of Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Anthony Kevin Morais.
00:15A three-judge panel chaired by Chief Justice Tenku Maimun Tuan Mat
00:19unanimously upheld the conviction for 62-year-old Dr. R. Kunasigaran,
00:24moneylender S. Ravi Chandran, aged 54, and S. Nimalan, aged 32.
00:30Nimalan was sentenced to 35 years in jail with 12 strokes of the rotan and Ravi Chandran
00:35to 40 years in prison, but spared the whipping due to his age.
00:41Justice Tenku Maimun said Kunasigaran's death sentence remained as he had withdrawn his appeal against the sentence.
00:48At the same time, the court discharged and acquitted three others,
00:5233-year-old R. Dineshwaran, 32-year-old A. K. Thinesh Kumar, and 35-year-old M. Vishwanath,
00:59after finding insufficient evidence to convict them in the 2015 murder.
01:04Also present at the court was Morais' younger brother, who said he was happy with the court's decision.
01:10How do you feel about today's decision?
01:13I'm very satisfied with the decision of Tungku Maimun.
01:16Well, I think Dr. Kuna deserves to, you know, get hanged.
01:21And the rest, those who are acquitted, well, if they were really not involved, you know,
01:24then it's, I think, you know, they should be just released, you know, like what the judge decided.
01:29The justice was served?
01:30The justice was served after 10 years.
01:32Morais was reported missing on September 4, 2015.
01:38Twelve days later, his body was found in a cement-filled oil drum
01:42at Persiaran Subang Mewa, Subang Jaya.
