A 24-year-old college student named Danish Raman Kamar Kumaresan was charged on May 15, 2026, with two counts of murder for a crash along Jalan Ampang that killed a married couple on May 2 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9].
The collision occurred around 5:30 a.m. on May 2 along Jalan Ampang between KLCC and Ampang Point, when the suspect’s car struck a motorcycle from behind [2, 4, 5, 8, 9].
The victims were identified as A. Doraisingam, aged either 61 or 65 according to different sources, and his 56-year-old wife A. Menagah [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9]. They were riding the motorcycle when hit, and both were flung onto the pavement [3, 10, 5, 6].
Both sustained severe head injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene [2, 7, 8, 9]. Doraisingam regularly took his wife to Gleneagles Hospital before the crash, family members said [6, 8].
The suspect, driving a Toyota Vios, is alleged to have lost control before hitting the motorcycle [8, 9]. Police have sent his blood and urine samples to the Chemistry Department for forensic analysis over potential drink-driving allegations [9].
Kumar Kumaresan appeared before Magistrate Nurul Izzah Hasan Basri on May 15. No plea was recorded because murder cases fall under the High Court's jurisdiction [3, 4, 5, 8, 9]. He was handcuffed and escorted by police at the court [3, 10, 5, 8].
He was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries a mandatory death penalty or alternatively 30–40 years imprisonment and whipping if the death penalty is not imposed [4, 5, 8, 9].
Family members of the victims declined to meet with the accused’s family but said they seek justice. "We are not expecting anything other than justice to be served," said K. Suresh Kumar, Doraisingam’s nephew. He added the accused’s family had expressed a wish to meet, but they had yet to do so [6, 8].
The court set August 17, 2026, for the next case mention as further findings are awaited [5, 8, 9].
