: Nigerian man escaped the gallows after the Court of Appeal here today commuted the death sentence imposed on him for the murder of a chief nurse at Serdang Hospital to 35 years imprisonment.
Justice Vazeer, when delivering the court’s unanimous decision, said the bench dismissed Gilbert’s appeal against the murder conviction on the ground that his conviction for murdering Siti Kharina Mohd Kamarudin was safe to be upheld. However, he said following an amendment to Section 302 of the Penal Code, the court agreed with Gilbert’s counsel, Afifuddin Ahmad Hafifi, that the death sentence ought to be commuted to imprisonment based on the circumstances and facts of the case.
Earlier in the proceedings today, Afifuddin said Gilbert and the deceased were lovers and they were living together.
