PUTRAJAYA: A 42-year-old man today failed in his final appeal to overturn his conviction and sentence of 35 years' imprisonment and 12 strokes of the cane for the 2012 murder of an Indonesian domestic cleaner, whom he had accused of speaking ill of him.

A three-member panel of the Federal Court comprising Justices Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan, Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang and Datuk Hanipah Farikullah on Tuesday (July 8), unanimously dismissed the appeal by Khairul Azizi Abdul Jalil, upholding the decisions of both the High Court and Court of Appeal.
