Indonesian man fails to get death sentence commuted to life imprisonment for murdering daughters


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court’s three-member panel on Wednesday rejected an Indonesian man’s review application to commute his death sentence for killing his three young daughters, to life imprisonment.

This is the first time the Federal Court dismissed an application to review the death sentence after the Revision of Sentence of Death and Imprisonment for Natural Life (Temporary Jurisdiction of the Federal Court) Act 2023 came into force last year.
