The driver who drove against traffic and killed two teenagers on 12 September has been charged with murder at the Shah Alam Magistrate’s Court today (20 September).

According to Astro Awani, the 24-year-old transport marketing officer, K Devaaswin bowed his head and nodded while the charge was read out in front of Magistrate Nur Faizah Abdul Sani.

The charge was made under Section 302 of the Penal Code which states, “Whoever commits murder shall be punished with death.”
