Federal Court dismisses individuals' bid for leave to review death sentences


PUTRAJAYA: Three individuals on death row failed in their bids to set aside the death sentence imposed on them for murder and drug trafficking offences on grounds that the mandatory death penalty provided under the law was unlawful.

Federal Court five-man panel led by Court of Appeal President Tan Sri Rohana Yusuf, in a unanimous decision, dismissed the trio's application who sought leave to review the Federal Court's earlier decisions in affirming their death sentences.
