Child killer to be executed


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has upheld the death sentence of a former contract labourer who killed four-year-old Nurul Nadirah Abdullah, also known as Dirang, 12 years ago.

A three-judge panel led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, in upholding the death sentence, dismissed Muidin Maidin’s review application to commute the death penalty to life imprisonment under the Revision of Sentence of Death and Imprisonment for Natural Life (Temporary Jurisdiction of the Federal Court) Act.
