Filipino man charged with taxi driver's murder in Keningau


KOTA KINABALU: A 43-year-old Filipino man was charged at the Keningau Sessions Court on Thursday (Oct 24) with the murder of a 58-year-old taxi driver last month.

No plea was recorded from the accused, Abdul Razak Amri, who has no valid identification.

The court has set Nov 26 this year for the next mention of his case, pending the completion of the chemist and post-mortem reports.

Abdul Razak, who was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, faces the death penalty if convicted. He was denied bail.

He had allegedly killed the taxi driver on Sept 19 following a heated argument between the two men in Kampung Lingkudau, Keningau, at 9.40pm.

The case was heard before Sessions Court Judge Ahmad Fairuz Mohd Puzi at 10am, with Assistant Superintendent Ramona Albert Rayang prosecuting.

The accused remains unrepresented.
