Court sets Sept 23 for remention of Kayong murder case

The Magistrate's Court in Miri has fixed Sept 23 for remention of the case involving two accused in the murder of PKR secretary Bill Kayong.

Subordinate Court registrar Nuur Hafiza Yatim set the date at the prosecution's request.

Deputy public prosecutor Wan Mohd Izzat Mohd Abdullah earlier told the court that he had not yet received the relevant documents such as post-mortem, telecommunication, chemist and banking reports from the respective parties.

Bouncer Mohamad Fitri Pauzi, 29, was charged on July 15 with murdering Bill Kayong at a traffic light intersection near E-Mart Supermarket, Jalan Miri-Bintulu at 8.20am on June 21.

He faces the mandatory death sentence if convicted, under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

Lie Chang Loong, 39, was also charged on July 15, with abetting Mohamad Fitri, together with Chin Wui Chung, 50, and Datuk Lee Chee Kiang, who is still at large, under Section 109 read together with Section 302 of the Penal Code.

Meanwhile, Chin, who is Lee's personal assistant, was charged yesterday at the Magistrate's Court.

The police are believed to have sought assistance from Interpol to track Lee who is believed to be in Australia.
