In the first case, Nasrul Wafiy Harizan, 32, and his brother Khairul Anuar, 30, along with their friend Dzulkifli Ahmad, 36, pleaded not guilty to gang robbery before judge Fadzlin Suraya Suah.

The charge was framed under Section 395 of the Penal Code and read together with Section 397, which carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years and whipping, if convicted.

In the same court, the two brothers and another friend, Syazwan Sazali, 34, pleaded not guilty to robbing a 17-year-old girl in front of a school at Jalan Jambu Jinjang Selatan in Sentul at 2.20pm on March 24.

They were also charged under Section 395 of the Penal Code.

The prosecution was conducted by deputy public prosecutor Nidzuwan Abd Latip, while lawyer Arief Firdaus Ashikin represented Nasrul Wafiy and Khairul Anuar.
