PETALING JAYA, Aug 20 — The Sessions Court here today fixed September 20 for the re-mention of a case involving three male Sukma handball athletes who allegedly raped a female officer of the women’s handball squad last month.   

Judge Yasmin Abdul Razak decided on the date after DPP Tan Gin Han informed that the prosecution had yet to receive the forensic, medical and chemical reports on the case.

On July 11, Megat Farzeril Faiz Megat Razali, 19, Mohammad Shaizzad Md Shafie, 19, and Adib Adha Ismail, 18, pleaded not guilty to raping the 20-year-old woman in a room at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, between 4am and 4.10am on July 4.

Megat Farzeril Faiz was charged with raping the woman at 4am, Mohammad Shaizzad at 4.05am and Adib Adha at 4.10am.

They were charged under section 376 (1) of the Penal Code which carries a maximum 20-year jail sentence and caning, upon conviction. — Bernama
