PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court upheld the death sentence imposed on a former barber for the murder of an 11-month-old baby girl known as 'Zara' who suffered serious vaginal injuries due to sexual assault, six years ago.

In a unanimous decision reached by a panel of three judges led by Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang, the court dismissed the final appeal by Hazmi Majid, 42, to set aside his conviction and sentence.
