Defence lawyer Rahmat Hazlan confirmed the new date as the records of appeal are not ready.
The appeal had been set for case management before Court of Appeal deputy registrar Tan Chai Wei today.
On June 21, the Shah Alam High Court acquitted and discharged Samirah, 47, who is Nazrin’s widow, and the two teenagers, aged 19 and 16, after finding that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against them.
Samirah and the two teenagers, as well as an Indonesian woman still at large, Eka Wahyu Lestari, were charged with murdering Nazrin, 45, at his house in Mutiara Damansara between 11.30pm on June 13, 2018 and 4am the following day.
On June 23, the Attorney-General’s Chambers filed its notice of appeal against the High Court’s decision to acquit the trio.
A week later, Samirah and the teenagers also filed an appeal to challenge certain findings by the High Court, including that the fire which broke out in Nazrin’s room was “done deliberately”.
High Court judge Ab Karim Ab Rahman, in his oral judgment, had said the court accepted the testimonies of the Kuala Lumpur fire and rescue department director Edwin Galan Teruki and investigating officer Halim Zulkefeli, in which they concluded that the fire was deliberately lit.
