Two brothers and their friend charged with torching the Metro Tabernacle Church AG will go on trial in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on July 6 and 7.

Judge SM Komathy Suppiah, in fixing the date today, also ordered the prosecution to hand over three medical reports on the accused to the defence on the day of the trial.

Brothers Raja Mohamad Faizal Raja Ibrahim, 24, and Raja Mohamad Idzham, 23, and their friend Azuwan Shah Ahmad, 23, are charged with several others still at large with committing mischief by torching the church at No 28, Jalan 4/4C, Desa Melawati at 11.50pm pm on Jan 7.

The trio, all despatch riders, are charged under Section 436 of the Penal Code which carries a maximum 20 years jail and a fine, on conviction.

Deputy public prosecutor Lee Keng Fatt said he would call 10 to 12 witnesses and show a closed circuit tv recording of the place.

The two brothers were represented by counsel Hanif Hashim while counsel Dzaki Ezhar Bahar represented Azuwan Shah.
