Ex-factory worker gets 38 years' jail, whipping for murder, causing hurt


SEREMBAN: A former factory worker was sentenced to 38 years in jail and 17 strokes of the cane by the High Court here Friday (Aug 18) after finding him guilty of murdering his brother-in-law and injuring another man seven years ago.

Judge Datuk Azman Abdullah meted out the sentence on Taufik Hidayah Abdullah, 34, after the defence failed to raise reasonable doubts on both charges brought against the accused at the end of the defence’s case.
