PUTRAJAYA: Two former policemen escaped the gallows after the Federal Court’s three-member panel commuted the death sentences imposed on them to 40 years in jail for the murder of an Indonesian mechanic who was shot “executioner-style” 18 years ago.
The panel comprising Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat and Federal Court judges Datuk Nordin Hassan and Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera allowed Ailias Yahya and Saiful Azlan Shah Abdullah’s review applications under the Revision of Sentence of Death and Imprisonment for Natural Life (Temporary Jurisdiction of the Federal Court) Act 2023.
