PUTRAJAYA: Six former National Defence University of Malaysia (UPNM) cadets who were convicted of causing fellow cadet Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain’s death were sentenced to 18 years in prison after the Federal Court here set aside the death penalty.

A three-judge panel, chaired by Chief Judge of Malaya Justice Hasnah Mohamed Hashim, allowed the appeal filed by the six and set aside the death sentence imposed on them by the Court of Appeal.
