An active-duty Malaysian soldier stands accused of murdering fellow serviceman Muzahid Millad. Prosecutors say Muzahid and his wife, Nafisa Tabassum, touched down at Kuala Lumpur International Airport earlier that day. Within minutes of disembarking, an incident erupted in which the victim—allegedly under the influence of alcohol—sustained fatal injuries. The defendant is charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which mandates the death penalty on conviction. The trial is underway.
