STUTTGART, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich fought back from a goal down to maintain their place at the top of the Bundesliga with a 3-1 victory at VfB Stuttgart on Friday.
PUTRAJAYA: Six former National Defence University of Malaysia cadets who were convicted of causing fellow cadet Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain ’s death were sentenced to 18 years in prison after the Federal Court here set aside the death penalty.
In the decision, read out by Justice Hasnah, the panel found that the prosecution had not proven the elements of murder beyond a reasonable doubt against the appellants from the injuries sustained by Zulfarhan that had caused his death. The panel then reinstated the decision by the Kuala Lumpur High Court in 2021 that meted out the prison time, which was ordered to run from the date of arrest on June 1, 2017.
The first five accused persons were initially charged with murder under Section 302, which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction, while Abdoul Hakeem was charged with abetting the murder under Section 109, which carries the same penalty. The former students, now 29, were charged with committing the offence in a room at the Asrama Jebat block, UPNM, between 4.45am and 5.45am on May 22, 2017.Defence lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik told the press that the defence was grateful for the decision to reinstate the initial sentence by the High Court.
