KUALA LUMPUR: Three men have been sentenced to life imprisonment and 12 strokes of the cane each after they were found guilty of trafficking over 32kg of drugs six years ago.

High Court judge Justice Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid imposed the sentence after finding that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt on behalf of tow truck drivers S. Uvaraja, 48, and R. Kalaikumar, 40, and lorry driver K. Paarthiban, 38, at the end of its case.
