PUTRAJAYA: A contractor has escaped the death penalty after he succeeded in his appeal to set aside his conviction and death sentence for drug trafficking.
Feroz Mohamed's appeal was allowed by the three-member Court of Appeal bench comprising Justices Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera, Datuk M. Gunalan and Datuk SM Komathy Suppiah here on Friday .
He said this was because the prosecution's case was based on the raiding officer's testimony, which was doubtful, and his testimony cast suspicion on his credibility as to what actually transpired on that day.On Nov 26, 2021, the High Court convicted Feroz on two charges of trafficking cannabis and sentenced him to death.
He was also accused of trafficking 2,354g of cannabis at a flat at Taman Seri Pinang in Seberang Prai Utara, Penang, at 2pm on the same day. The officer was part of the team that raided the house where the drugs were found and was also the person who discovered the drugs in the car driven by Feroz. He also went to the flat where drugs were also found, with directions provided by Feroz.
