PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Court of Appeal has upheld the death sentence imposed on a Chinese woman for trafficking 2,156.8g of methamphetamine found inside three pillows in her luggage bag at the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) in Sepang in 2013.

A three-man panel chaired by Datuk Umi Kalthum Abdul Majid unanimously dismissed the appeal by Yan Lanhua, in her 30s, to set aside her conviction and death sentence passed by the Shah Alam High Court on Sept 28, 2017.
