To refresh your minds, news reports at that time stated that the victim was stabbed 3 times before the suspects returned to the white BMW 5 Series. Panic ensued at the petrol station when the suspects threw a firecracker out of the car before proceeding to drive the car over the victim multiple times.

Here’s a short footage of the video:
Three men were arrested on suspicion of murder but according to a news report by Harian Metro yesterday, all three men were acquitted after the acting prosecutor failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the prima facie case.

Judicial Commissioner, Dr Shahnaz Sulaiman, decided to acquit Gan Jia Ji, 22, Yip Kah Hou, 26, and Woon Kian Hui, 25, according to the following reasons:
- The court finds the CCTV footage provided as evidence too blurry to proof that the 3 suspects were at the scene.
- DNA tests according to evidence at the crime scene have returned with no matches to the 3 suspects.
- The prosecution also failed to link the BMW car allegedly used by the accused to commit the crime.
All we can say is: innocent until proven guilty.

There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
