Nagaenthran's mother files legal challenge as last-ditch effort to save him


PETALING JAYA: Nagaenthran Dharmalingam’s mother has filed a legal challenge in a last-ditch effort to set aside his conviction and death sentence, which will be heard on the eve of his execution in Singapore.

The 34-year-old Malaysian was slated to be executed on Wednesday (April 27) after the Singapore Court of Appeal upheld his death sentence last month.
