Everest conqueror buried

KUALA LUMPUR: Everest conquerer M. Moorthy, whose death sparked an eight-day-long legal tussle for his body between his wife and the Federal Territory Islamic Affairs Council (MAIWP), was buried in the Taman Ibukota Muslim cemetery in Gombak yesterday.

About three hours earlier at 11.30am, the High Court ruled it had no right to review the Syariah High Court's Dec 22 declaration that Moorthy is a Muslim.

Moorthy, whose Muslim name is Muhammad Abdullah, was given a Muslim burial by the Federal Territory Islamic Affairs Department (Jawi) at 2.45pm. His family issued a statement in the evening, stating that a symbolic cremation was held at 4pm at Taman Tun Teja, Rawang.

Justice Datuk Raus Sharif had in the morning dismissed an application by Moorthy's wife, S. Kaliammal, for an order that the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (KLH) hand over the body to her for burial according to Hindu rites.
