The High Court will set a new date for the closing submission by the defence in the murder of deputy public prosecutor Anthony Kevin Morais, whose body was found in a barrel filled with concrete five years ago.

Judge Azman Abdullah, however, set May 18 for the case management after deputy public prosecutor Saiful Edris Zainuddin informed the court that he had yet to receive the written submission from defence lawyer Sheelan Arjunan.
