KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 — Three unemployed men pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court today to kidnapping a man in the parking area of the People’s Housing Program (PPR) in Cheras last year.
Mohammad Izzul Haikal Zainodin, 35; Zairen Idzwan Mohd Haslin, 33; and Hoezniezam Hamzah, 41, along with another person who has been accused, are charged with kidnapping the 27-year-old with the intention of causing serious injury to the victim at the PPR in Kampung Muhibbah, Cheras, at 7.30pm on September 3, 2023.
The charge, under Section 367 of the Penal Code and read together with Section 34 of the same law, provides a maximum jail term of 10 years and a fine, upon conviction.
Judge Siti Shakirah Mohtarudin did not allow the three accused bail as the offence is non-bailable. She set September 23 for mention.
All three accused were unrepresented, while deputy public prosecutor Nidzuwan Abd Latip appeared for the prosecution.
