The five men were charged with jointly murdering Nhaveen at the Jalan Bunga Raya park sometime between 11pm and midnight on June 9, 2017. He added that the prosecution has also failed to call in other corroborating witnesses to support Previin’s testimony in court, and added that Previin had presented contradictory evidence and was not credible.
Although there was evidence that Nhaveen succumbed to his injuries including blunt force trauma to the head a few days after the incident, Justice Radzi said there were no clear details of what happened that day. Immediately after he ordered for the five men to be immediately released, there were muffled cries of relief from the men’s family members sitting in the public gallery.
It was reported that both Nhaveen and Previin were beaten but the latter managed to escape and get help.
