PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal here on Thursday (Sept 14) upheld the death sentence of a labourer for the triple murder of three young siblings five years ago.
A three-member bench comprising Justice Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera, Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah and Justice Azmi Ariffin unanimously dismissed Shahrul Pitri Jusoh’s appeal against his conviction and death sentence.
Justice Vazeer said although the appellate court has the discretion to set aside the death sentence imposed on Shahrul Pitri, 40, and commute it to a custodial sentence of between 30 to 40 years, in light of the latest amendment to Section 302 of the Penal Code, the court found that there is no reasonable basis for the court to exercise its discretion to do so.
Shahrul Pitri, 40, was also found guilty and sentenced to six years’ jail for attempting to kill the children’s mother Zuraidah Mat Ali, using a machete at the same place and time. Earlier, court-assigned counsel Rajit Singh informed the court that Shahrul Pitri is only appealing with respect to the High Court’s decision for the murder charges.
