Relief and pain among family members of death row inmates

PETALING JAYA: There is renewed hope for death row inmates now that Parliament has passed the two Bills necessary to abolish the mandatory death penalty, say relieved family members.

Homemaker Riniey Mat Noh, 39, whose brother is serving jail time while awaiting his journey to the gallows, said the abolition would give the 29-year-old another chance in life.
