Killer may escape death penalty


THE suspect involved in the murder of 11-month-old Nur Muazara Ulfa Mohammad Zainal may escape the gallows – even if he is convicted – owing to the moratorium on the death penalty.

“The punishment of death by hanging, under Section 302 of the Penal Code, is one of the laws which is to be abolished,” Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Liew Vui Keong said during Minister’s Question Time.
