BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/Asia News Network): A case involving the alleged murder of a baby-girl in August 2021 has been set for trial against a local man after the Magistrate’s Court concluded its Preliminary Inquiry, deciding that there is ample evidence for prosecutors to pursue the case.
Muhammad Aisamuddin Tajudin is facing the noose for a charge of murdering the 10-month-old baby sometime on Aug 21 and 22, 2021, in a bedroom of a house in Kampong Sibulu, Jalan Selangan Bokok, Temburong District.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Rozaimah Abdul Rahman and Prosecutor Syazwani Jumat laid out the evidence intended to be brought before the trial.
