Fisherman who killed wife had death sentence commuted to 33 years


PUTRAJAYA: A fisherman escaped the gallows on Wednesday after the Federal Court commuted his death sentence to 33 years in jail for killing his wife 23 years ago.

This was after the Federal Court three-member bench comprising Justices Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof, Datuk Nordin Hassan and Datuk Abu Bakar Jais allowed Abd Razak Dalek’s application to review the death sentence imposed on him under the Revision of Sentence of Death and Imprisonment for Natural Life (Temporary Jurisdiction of the Federal Court) Act 2023 came into force last year.
