: A former scrap metal dealer’s death sentence for killing a transvestite 15 years ago was commuted to 38 years in jail by the Federal Court today.
Raja, 35, was found guilty by the High Court in 2012 for killing M. Kanan, 42, at a flood retention pond, in Lorong Air Jernih, Setapak, Kuala Lumpur between 1 am and 2 am on Aug 24, 2009. He said on the night of the murder, Raja and a group of his friends went in a van to the location of the deceased.
Meanwhile, the same panel commuted the death sentence imposed on Indonesian Edi Eko Saputro to 36 years in jail for murdering his lover after allowing his review application under the same Act. His appeals were dismissed by the Court of Appeal in 2014 and by the Federal Court the following year.
