Man's 38-year jail term for murdering elderly neighbour reduced to 30 years


PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal here on Tuesday (May 21) replaced a 38-year prison sentence of a man convicted of murdering a 77-year-old neighbour four years ago with a 30-year term.

A three-judge panel comprising Judges Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali and Mohamed Zaini Mazlan unanimously reduced the jail sentence after allowing an appeal by Mohamad Shaharudin Zakaria, 69, against the 38-year prison sentence imposed by Ipoh High Court in Perak.
