The High Court last year freed Ambika MA Shan when the government lawyer did not offer valid grounds for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal. FMTNews Court

Ambika MA Shan who was accused of murdering her maid was acquitted by the Penang High Court in April last year.

The respondent, Ambika MA Shan, who is alleged to have committed the offence on her domestic worker Adelina Lisao was present in court. The prosecution in April last year filed a notice of appeal and a month later submitted its petition of appeal. Trial judge Akhtar Tahir in his judgment said the accused was set free mid-trial as the government lawyer did not offer valid grounds for a DNAA.

However, Akhtar said Ambika had only been acquitted of murder, and that the prosecution could still charge her with other offences if it wanted.
