SEPANG: Tension ran high at the Magistrate's Court here this morning when a man, believed to be a relative of the 20-year-old university student murdered in Cyberjaya, attempted to confront one of the suspects.

The man, dressed in a red shirt, approached the suspect as he was being escorted out of the courtroom following a remand extension hearing.

The main suspect, a male, and two female suspects were seen leaving the court around 9.50am when the man suddenly moved towards them, shouting from a distance.

"Woi! Kau bunuh saya punya adik, pakai otak sikit lah, saya punya adik you kasi mati! ("You killed my sister. Use your brain! You caused her death!")" the man was heard shouting.

Police at the scene acted swiftly to calm him down, diffusing the situation and preventing any untoward incidents.

Meanwhile, M. Manoharan, the lawyer representing the main suspect, criticised the police for issuing a public statement alleging that his client had "bad intentions".

He said the investigation was still ongoing and stressed that the police should refrain from making prejudicial statements, as under the law, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

"We have raised our objection with the Magistrate regarding the statement made by Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan, which included fragments of evidence that could potentially compromise my client's case.

"This is a serious matter.

"The police are responsible for conducting investigations, but it is the role of our learned and capable judges to determine guilt or innocence," he said when met outside the courtroom.

Earlier today, it was reported that police had obtained a seven-day remand extension against three of the suspects.
