| 2005-08-11 |
| ALOR STAR, Aug 10 (Bernama) -- The Sessions Court here Wednesday fixed Sept 21 for mention of the case of 10 Indonesians charged with armed gang robbery on an oil tanker. Judge Maznah Abdul Aziz fixed the date after allowing an application for postponement by V.M Ravindran, counsel for seven of the accused, because he is still awaiting a reply from the deputy public prosecutor's office on a review of the charges... [The Indonesians] are charged with committing gang robbery on the Nepline Delima while armed with parang in the waters between Kota Kuala Muda and Langkawi in Kedah between 4am and 12.25pm on June 14 this year. If convicted under sections 395 and 397 of the Penal Code they can be jailed up to 20 years each and whipped. |
