The Morais siblings are locked in a heated and public family feud, with two brothers battling it out in the media, both purportedly in the name of their slain brother Kevin.

Charles claims his damning statutory declaration (SD) implicating high profile figures is to give Kevin, a deputy public prosecutor (DPP) with the Attorney-General’s Chambers, justice.

The youngest brother Richard however, is challenging his brother’s SD saying he wants to defend not just Kevin, but also Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

"I want to defend Kevin and my prime minister's dignity [...] because he (Najib) is also implicated in his (Charles’) SD.

"And he (Charles) is saying that Kevin gave it (evidence against Najib) to him.

"It is a sin to implicate other people," Richard told Malaysiakini .

The businessman previously had said he would meet Najib over Charles' SD. However he denied having any connections to the premier.

‘No connections with PM’

"I can go see him personally on my own accord, I don't have to have connections with him," he said.

He added he would seek the meeting by asking for an appointment.

In his expose, Charles claimed to have been given a pen drive containing information from Kevin which implicated individuals in power and he (Charles) has arranged for it to be revealed if anything should befall the DPP.

In the SD, Charles claimed Kevin had confided that he was working on a case involving Najib and wife Rosmah Mansor.

He also alleged that Kevin's signature was on a draft charge sheet against Najib for corruption.

Kevin was reported missing on Sept 4, and his remains were found in a cemented drum at Persiaran Subang Mewah, Subang Jaya on Sept 16.

Six men have been charged with the murder of deputy public prosecutor Anthony Kevin Morais while two others, including a military doctor, are accused of abetting the offence.
