PUTRAJAYA: Two general workers escaped the hangman's noose when the Federal Court rejected their appeal against a murder conviction but commuted their death sentences to 30 years in prison and 12 strokes of the cane each.
A three-judge panel chaired by Justice Datuk Harmindar Singh Dhaliwal unanimously rejected the appeal by A. Rames, 47, and Tew Siew Kem, 46, against their conviction in the murder of a farmhand seven years ago.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
