Woman freed after seven years in jail

KUCHING: After seven years behind bars, Ling Hang Tsyr walked out of court a free woman when the Court of Appeal acquitted her of abetting a man in the 2012 murder of her husband, bank manager Wong Jing Kui (pic).

In a unanimous decision, Court of Appeal judges Justices Zabariah Mohd Yusof, Suraya Othman and Kamaludin Md Said set aside Hang Tsyr’s conviction and sentence after finding gaps in the circumstantial evidence used to convict her.
