Federal Court has rejected 19 out of 474 applications to commute death sentence

KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Court has rejected 19 out of 474 applications it has reviewed from inmates on death row to commute their sentences, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

"Their death sentences remained, among others, for those involved in murder with more than one victim or involving the murder of children," the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reforms) said in a written reply in Parliament on Tuesday (June 25).
