KUALA LUMPUR: The elder of two lawyer brothers arrested a month ago in connection with the murders of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and her three associates will be charged at the Banting magistrate's court today.
The 41-year-old suspect's lawyer, Ravi Neeko, who confirmed this told theSun that he received a call from a police officer who informed him of this last night.
Ravi said although the officer did not state what charge or charges will be pressed against his client, he believes it will be for murder.
"We are not sure what the charges will be until we get there but I think it is for murder. The police just told me that my client will be charged at 9am at the Teluk Datuk magistrate's court in Banting." he said.
He said it remains unknown what action police intend to take on the remaining nine suspects who are in police custody, namely, the 38-year-old younger brother of the suspect who had claimed to be a Datuk and will charged today and the workers he had employed at his cattle farm at Ladang Gadong near Banting where the alleged killings took place.
The man who was arrested on Sept 12 has seen three remand orders totalling a month issued against him for investigations into the murders of seven people.
The remand order on his younger brother and another suspect expires today.
