| Banting murders: Second accused was a bright student, says DPP Posted: 06 Nov 2012 05:13 AM PST SHAH ALAM: The second accused in the murders of cosmetics millionairess Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others was a bright student and obtained good results in his Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination. However, poverty had forced T. Thilaiyalagan to abandon his dream of pursuing his studies, said deputy public prosecutor Idham Abd Ghani when cross-examining Thilaiyalagan, 21, in the High Court here Tuesday. Idham : You were not able to go to college because you could not afford and it was because of that you worked with Ravi (fourth accused R. Khatavarayan) and N.Pathmanabhan (the first accused). Thilaiyalagan : Agreed Idham : I suggest you study in prison. Thilaiyalagan : Yes, last year. Computer class. Questioned by Idham why he went for the computer class, Thilaiyalagan said it was because it was offered to him. He also said he was able to understand the Malay Language because he went to a national school instead of a Tamil national-type school. When Idham put it to him that he lied in court for saying he did not understand the language, Thilaiyalagan said he was able to understand Malay, but not fully. Thilaiyalagan was ordered to enter his defence, together with former lawyer Pathmanabhan, 43, and farm workers R. Matan, 22, and Kathavarayan, 32, on a charge of murdering Sosilawati, 47, bank officer Noorhisham Mohamad, lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim and Sosilawati's driver, Kamaruddin Shamsuddin. They are charged with committing the offence at Ladang Gadong, Lot 2001, Jalan Tanjong Layang, Tanjung Sepat in Banting between 8.30pm and 9.45pm on Aug 30, 2010. The charge, under Section 302 of the Penal Code, carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction. To a suggestion by Idham that he did what was ordered by Khatavarayan and Pathmanabhan because he was indebted to them, Thilaiyalagan said it was not so. He also agreed with Idham who said that Pathmanabhan contacted him of Sept 9, 2010 before he (Thilaiyalagan) was arrested by the police. Following which, Idham produced a call detail record of a call made from Pathmanaban's handphone to that of Thilaiyalagan's handphone at 5.39pm on that day. The hearing before judge Datuk Akhtar Tahir continues Wednesday. - Bernama |
