: The Federal Court here today commuted the death sentence of a former sawmill worker to 40 years in prison for killing and raping a nurse nine years ago.
In delivering the court’s ruling, Justice Harmindar said although the circumstances of Mohammad Awari’s crime were quite exceptional, the one mitigating factor that saved him from the death penalty was his young age at the time of the offence. However, deputy public prosecutor Atiqah Abdul Karim @ Husaini objected to the application for review, stressing that it was a brutal murder of the young mother of three, who was also subjected to rape.
Mohammad Awari was initially found guilty and sentenced to death by the Kota Bharu High Court in Kelantan on Jan 31, 2018, for killing the 25-year-old wife of an auxiliary policeman.
