KUALA LUMPUR, May, 2026 – A 24-year-old college student has been charged in the Magistrate’s Court with two counts of murder following a fatal crash on Jalan Ampang that claimed the lives of a married couple earlier this month.
The accused, Danish Raman Kamar Kumaresan, appeared before Magistrate Nurul Izzah Hasan Basri on Friday, May 15. According to court proceedings, he nodded to indicate that he understood the charges read to him. No plea was recorded because murder cases fall under the jurisdiction of the High Court.
The charges relate to the deaths of A. Doraisingam, 61, and his wife, A. Menagah, 56, who were killed in the incident along Jalan Ampang heading towards Ampang Point from KLCC at about 5.30am on May 2.
The couple were travelling on a motorcycle when the crash occurred. Malay Mail earlier reported that they died at the scene after their motorcycle was rear-ended by a Toyota Vios at about 5.34am.
The case had initially been investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which covers causing death by reckless or dangerous driving. However, police later reclassified the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
Under Section 302, a conviction may carry the death sentence or imprisonment of between 30 and 40 years, with a minimum of 12 strokes of the cane, depending on the court’s decision. The accused was not granted bail as the charges are unbailable offences.
The court has fixed August 17, 2026, for mention. Deputy public prosecutor Faizal @ Amrin Noor Hadi prosecuted the case, while the accused was represented by lawyers Mansheel Kaur and Devinder Kaur Dhaliwal.
The deaths of Doraisingam and Menagah have drawn public attention because the incident began as a fatal road crash but later became a murder case after police reclassified the investigation. The shift in classification placed the case under a far more serious legal framework.
Before the charges were filed, the 24-year-old suspect had been remanded to assist investigations. Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa previously said police were also awaiting toxicology results to determine whether the suspect was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the incident.
The court proceedings were also attended by family members of the deceased. Doraisingam’s nephew, K. Suresh Kumar, told reporters that his uncle used to send his wife to Gleneagles Hospital every morning as she worked there. He also said the couple had three children, aged 19, 24 and 26.
The family has expressed hope for justice and fairness as the case proceeds through the legal system. Menagah’s younger brother, A. Nagulan, was also present in court during the proceedings.
The case has renewed public discussion about road safety, accountability and the legal consequences of fatal crashes in Malaysia. While fatal road accidents are commonly handled under traffic laws, this case stands out because authorities proceeded with murder charges after further investigation.
For now, Danish remains an accused person and the allegations have yet to be tested in the High Court. The next stage of proceedings will determine how the prosecution moves forward with the case and whether additional details will emerge regarding the events leading to the deadly Jalan Ampang crash.
