3 charged with Cradle Fund CEO's murder

Mar 04, 2019

The wife and two stepsons of late Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan have been charged with his murder. 

No pleas were recorded from the trio. 

Meanwhile, the family's maid was charged in absentia.

Police earlier said they believe she had returned to Indonesia, and efforts are being taken to bring her back.

The charges came after an 8 month investigation. 

Nazrin was initially believed to have died in a fire at his house in Mutiara Damansara.

However it was reclassified as murder, after an investigation by the Fire and Rescue Dept found elements of foul play. 

Nazrin's remains were exhumed for a second post mortem, and the results were submitted to prosecutors last week.
