JOHOR BARU: Two men convicted in high-profile murder cases have escaped the gallows after the Federal Court commuted their death sentences to jail terms and whippings.
In the first case, the court set aside the death sentence against Indonesian national La Ode Ardi Rasila, 47, who was convicted by the Shah Alam High Court in 2014 of murdering bank officer Norazita Abu Talib a year earlier.
