Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, the defence counsel representing the first accused in the case, Samirah Muzaffar, said the article taken from mimpiari.blogspot.com, was believed to be Nazrin’s sincere feelings for his brother, Dr Abdul Aziz Hassan, who was the 18th witness in the case.
He said among the contents of the article, written between 2004 and 2007, were feelings of disappointment by Nazrin for his brother, who was described as a hero in the family.
“Mother passed away this year and each week before she died, mother asked when he would return her properties.
“In fact, two weeks before dying, she again raised the matter but she died without getting her desire fulfilled,” said Shafee, when reading the article in the blog before Judge Ab Karim Ab Rahman today.
However, deputy public prosecutor Salim Soib @ Hamid protested that the article should not be read in court as it was not appropriate.
Nonetheless, Shafee explained that he read out the article to refer to Aziz’s statement in court that relations between him and the deceased were good when it was otherwise.
Yesterday, in his statement in court, Aziz described himself as a father to Nazrin as their father died when they were 22 and 12 years old respectively.
Aziz said they were close even though they seldom met as Nazrin was busy with his career and although his younger brother was a secretive person who was more interested in relating his problems to friends.
On May 12, former senior executive of Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), Samirah, 44, who is the widow of Nazrin, 47, and two boys, aged 17 and 14, were jointly charged with Indonesian, Eka Wahyu Lestari, who is still at large, with murdering the man.
They were accused of committing the offence at a house at Mutiara Homes, Mutiara Damansara, between 11.30pm on June 13, 2018 and 4am on June 14, 2018.
The offence under Section 302 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same code, provides for the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.
The trial will resume tomorrow.
