A GRAPHIC designer was charged in a magistrate’s court in Kuala Lumpur today with the murder of his 24-year-old girlfriend earlier this month.

Sean Edward Kenneth Quinn, 30, merely nodded after the charge was read out to him in Bahasa Malaysia before magistrate Nurul Izzah Shaharuddin.

No plea was recorded from the accused as the case is under the jurisdiction of the High Court.

The accused was charged with causing the death of Nurin Najmina Mohd Radzuan in a condominium in Jalan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur at 3am on July 12, under section 302 of the penal code, which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.

The court set September 25 for remention.

Deputy public prosecutor Sareeka Balakrishnan appeared for the prosecution while lawyer Vivek Sukumaran represented the accused. – Bernama, July 25, 2023.
