Two teenagers and widow of Malaysian venture capital firm Cradle Fund CEO plead not guilty to his murder Malaysia
SHAH ALAM - The widow of Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan and two teenage boys pleaded not guilty in the High Court on Tuesday to the murder of the man last June, Bernama news agency reported.
The charge under Section 302 of the Penal Code and read in conjunction with Section 34 of the same code, provides for the mandatory death sentence upon conviction. Mr Nazrin was initially believed to have died from smoke inhalation after his mobile phone, which was charging while he was napping, exploded and caused a fire.
Quoting unnamed sources, The Malay Mail Online said the boys were members of their school's archery club.
