SEREMBAN: The High Court here on Wednesday (March 15) ordered five Indian nationals to be hanged to death after finding them guilty of trafficking methamphetamine and ketamine five years ago in Port Dickson.

Judge Datuk Azizul Azmi Adnan handed down the sentence on Radhakrishan Syam, Fazil Farook, Sainabdeen Siyad, Abdul Kalam Sajeev, and Salim Sabeer, aged 30 to 44, after finding that the defence failed to raise a reasonable doubt at the end of its case.
