Muhd Asnawi Ghazali, 37, and Musa Ramli, 25, nodded in understanding after the charges were read out before Magistrate Siti Zubaidah Mahat.

They were charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which provides for the death penalty or imprisonment of between 30 and 40 years. If not sentenced to death, they shall also be liable to not less than 12 strokes of the cane, upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Mohammad Uzzair Rosman appeared for the prosecution, while both accused were unrepresented.
The court set Nov 27 for the next mention of the case. — Bernama
