Trio escape gallows, get 35 years' jail for murdering entrepreneur


PUTRAJAYA: A former female clerk and two others have escaped the gallows when the Court of Appeal commuted their death sentences to 35 years' jail for abducting and murdering a managing director of a company, whose body was dumped over the Penang Second Bridge nine years ago.

A three-member panel chaired by Judge Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera on Tuesday (March 5) unanimously set aside the death sentence handed down by the Shah Alam High Court in 2018 against Sunil Singh, A. Malarvili (women) and C. Kavin Mukilan for the murder of 68-year-old Balveer Kaur.
