The offence was allegedly committed between 10.30pm and midnight on Sept 13.

Soosai was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries a mandatory death sentence upon conviction.

However, no plea was recorded from the accused before magistrate Siti Khairiah Abdul Razak.

Sugumaran's body was reported missing from a premises in Ampangan, Seremban on Sept 13.

His body was later found buried in Siliau.

It is believed that the accused murdered his victim over the latter’s girlfriend.
