Lawyer Americk Sidhu has denied having any information regarding the contents of a pen-drive allegedly given to his client Charles Morais by his brother and deputy public prosecutor Datuk Anthony Kevin Morais before he was murdered.
“I’m not aware. I don’t know anything about it,” he told the Star Online on Tuesday.
According to Americk, Charles had only informed him of the existence of the pen drive but nothing else.
In a statutory declaration released on Monday, Charles claimed that Kevin had told him that he was working on a case involving a top politician and his wife.
He had also claimed that his Kevin had sent him a pen drive a month before his death for safekeeping.
On Sunday, the police announced that they would be calling Americk in to provide a statement over the statutory declaration signed by Charles.
However, the meeting has been rescheduled to two days later.
“They cancelled their appointment with me today. The inspector who is doing it is busy. It’s being rescheduled for this Thursday,” he said.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar had also urged Charles to share his findings with the police, saying that failure to do so would be tantamount to withholding evidence, which is an offence.
Kevin went missing on Sept 4 after leaving his home in Menara Duta for work in Putrajaya.
He was abducted by several men following a minor accident along Jalan Dutamas.
A DNA test on a body found in a cemented oil drum dumped in a swamp in Subang Jaya on Sept 16 identified the remains as that of Kevin’s.
Army pathologist Kol Dr R. Kunaseegaran and seven others have been charged with the abduction and murder of Kevin.
