Tension Escalates in Court as Relative Confronts Suspect in Murder Case

A family member lost his cool at court and tried to get at a murder suspect. The angry man wore red clothes and shouted at the accused killer as guards walked him out of the courtroom. He screamed that the suspect had killed his sister and needed to think about what he did. Police officers jumped in fast to stop any trouble from starting. The drama happened around 9:50 in the morning after judges gave police more time to hold the suspects.

The suspect's lawyer got mad at cops for talking badly about his client to reporters. M. Manoharan said police bosses should keep quiet about the case since nobody has been found guilty of anything. He complained to the judge about comments from the top Selangor police chief that might hurt his client's chances. The lawyer said cops should stick to finding evidence and let judges decide who did what. He warned that police statements could mess up the whole case.
