Banting murder trial: Court stays proceedings

By Rita Jong

SHAH ALAM: The Shah Alam High Court today stayed proceedings in the Banting murder trial to a date yet to be fixed.

Judge Datuk Akhtar Tahir stayed proceedings following a Court of appeal's order, pending an appeal by the defence team against his decision in dismissing their application to call 3 DPPs to the witness stand.

They had applied to call the DPPs as witnesses in their bid to challenge two documents, which the DPPs had tendered in court.
