Man sentenced to hang for murder of Bangladeshi worker in Kampung Gajah
IPOH: The High Court here today sentenced a man to death by hanging for killing a Bangladeshi worker in Sungai Kinta, Kampung Gajah, seven years ago. Judge Su Tiang Joo delivered the verdict after finding Mohamad Amier Amzar Mohamad Aspar, 28, guilty of murdering MD Ovaidul, 32, on December 15, 2018. The crime occurred between 8.20 pm and 10.25 pm under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Su stated that the murder was premeditated and carried out in a brutal manner. He noted the prolonged suffering inflicted on the victim before his death. The judge highlighted the accused's actions of beating the victim, taking him to the riverbank, and dumping his body to conceal evidence. Su ruled that the death penalty was appropriate given the severity of the crime. The accused was ordered to be hanged under Section 277 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The judge found more aggravating than mitigating factors in the case. These included witness interference and the deliberate disposal of the victim's body. Su emphasised that the law applies equally to all, regardless of nationality. MD Hossain Khan, the victim's brother, delivered a statement on behalf of his family in Bangladesh. He revealed that MD Ovaidul was the family's primary breadwinner. The victim had planned to return to Bangladesh to get married before his death. Hossain described his brother as a good son and the family's hope. He condemned the accused's inhumane actions against his brother. The prosecution was led by deputy public prosecutor JS Geetha. The accused was represented by lawyer V. Santhiran. Family members of the accused were seen crying after the verdict was announced. The trial involved 24 prosecution witnesses and one defence witness. The victim's body was found tied to a motorcycle in Sungai Kinta on December 18, 2018. - Bernama

Former Perak immigration officers acquitted on corruption charges
IPOH: The High Court acquitted two former Perak Immigration officers accused of corruption. Zulhairin Yahya, 53, and Zaidi Dali, 57, were cleared of soliciting and accepting bribes seven years ago. Their lawyer, M. Athimulan, confirmed the appeal was allowed due to an unsafe conviction. Judge Moses Susayen ordered their acquittal and discharge after reviewing the case. In 2022, the Sessions Court had sentenced them to three years in jail and fined them RM85,000 each. The charges involved soliciting RM10,000 monthly to avoid inspections at a Manjung entertainment centre. They also faced separate charges for accepting RM7,000 in bribes. The initial verdict included fines and additional jail time if payments were not made. Both were granted a stay of execution pending their High Court appeal. Zulhairin and Zaidi were accused of conspiring to protect the entertainment centre from raids. The alleged offences occurred in 2015 at Club House Meru Valley Golf & Country Club. Zulhairin was separately charged for obtaining bribes through Zaidi. Zaidi faced additional charges for facilitating bribes to the state Immigration director. The charges fell under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009. Maximum penalties for such offences include 20 years in prison and hefty fines. Deputy Public Prosecutor Maziyah Mansor led the prosecution. Mohd Baharuddin Ahmad Kassim represented Zulhairin in the case. - Bernama

High Court sentences man to hang for brutal murder of Bangladeshi worker in Perak
IPOH, Aug 8 — The High Court here today sentenced a man to death by hanging for killing a Bangladeshi man in Sungai Kinta, Sungai Galah area, Kampung Gajah in Perak Tengah district, seven years ago. Judge Su Tiang Joo sentenced Mohamad Amier Amzar Mohamad Aspar, 28, after the man was found guilty of killing MD Ovaidul, 32, at the location between 8.20pm and 10.25pm, December 15, 2018, under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Su in his judgment said he agreed with the prosecution that the murder was premeditated and committed in an extremely brutal manner by the convict. 'It could have caused much pain and agony to the deceased over a prolonged period of time in between the beating in his house and then being taken to the riverbank before the fatal cut was administered by the accused and the body unceremoniously dumped into the river to hide traces of the crime. 'In other words, the death was not sudden and quick. In the second circumstances, I accept the presumptions of the prosecution that the death sentence would be appropriate and I sentence the convict to be punished with death and pursuant to Section 277 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the accused is to be hanged by the neck until he is dead,' he said. Su said he found that there are more aggravating circumstances than mitigating circumstances, among them are the convict interfering with prosecution witness, the pain and suffering from the injury suffered and the extent of the injuries, and the accused dumping the body of the deceased into the river. 'The convict is a Malaysian and the deceased a Bangladeshi national. This is a neutral circumstance because under Article 8, Sub-Article 1 of our Federal Constitution, all persons are equal before the law and are entitled to the equal protection of the law,' he said. Earlier, MD Hossain Khan, the victim's brother, also delivered a victim impact statement with the help of an interpreter on behalf of his family in Bangladesh. MD Hossain said MD Ovaidul was the third of six siblings with both parents still alive, besides the family was dependent on the victim working in Malaysia to support their livelihood in Bangladesh. 'Before the incident, my brother had told me that he planned to return to Bangladesh within a month to get married. 'Our family had made preparations in the village, but those dreams were shattered when he was brutally murdered and more sadly, murdered by the son of his own employer, the accused,' he said. MD Hossain said the death of MD Ovaidul left a deep impression on him and his family because his younger brother was not a criminal but a good son and brother and was the hope of the family. 'My younger brother did not die of illness, did not die of an accident but he died because he was brutally murdered by the person who was supposed to protect him as an employer. The accused's actions against my younger brother were inhumane,' he said. The prosecution was conducted by deputy public prosecutor JS Geetha while the accused was represented by lawyer V. Santhiran. After the judgment proceedings today, the accused was seen hugging his family members who were crying after hearing the verdict. The trial, which began on January 6, 2020, involved 24 prosecution witnesses and one defence witness, the accused himself. On December 19, 2018, the media reported that the body of a man with one leg tied to a motorcycle was found in Sungai Kinta, Sungai Galah area, Kampung Gajah on the evening of December 18. — Bernama
