PETALING JAYA: Former deputy public prosecutor Fahmi Abd Moin confirmed that he will represent the parents of murdered 6-year old child, Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin, who were remanded by police last Friday to assist in the investigation of the case.
Fahmi said he was appointed by the couple's family.
"Insya-Allah I will be present (at the proceedings in court this Friday).
"I was appointed to represent them both (Zayn's parents)," said Fahmi when contacted yesterday.
Meanwhile, Zayn Rayyan's grandfather, Zahari Mohd Reba also confirmed the appointment of Fahmi as the new lawyer to represent the couple.
It was earlier reported that Mahmud Abdul Jumaat– the lawyer representing Zayn Rayyan's parents– had withdrawn from the case starting yesterday.
Mahmud, who was initially appointed by the family after the couple were detained by police last Friday, attended the remand application proceedings at the Petaling Jaya Magistrate's Court on Saturday.
He had announced in a statement that he had to make this decision to focus on several other ongoing cases.
