Nguyen’s twin found guilty in samurai sword attack

SYDNEY: The brother of an Australian drug runner hanged in Singapore was convicted over a savage samurai sword attack but details of the case were suppressed amid fears they could jeopardise clemency appeals, it was reported yesterday. 

The Australian daily reported Nguyen Khoa pleaded guilty to the attack last year and was given a three-year sentence, which the judge ordered be suspended partially because his twin brother was awaiting execution in Singapore.
