Man escapes gallows after court acquits him of trafficking 1.6 kg of cannabis in KL | Malay Mail

PUTRAJAYA, April 6 — A former sofa repair workshop worker escaped the gallows when the Court of Appeal here today set aside his conviction and death sentence on the charge of trafficking 1.6 kilogrammes of cannabis, four years ago.

“We are satisfied that the conviction against the appellant is not safe to be maintained. Therefore, the conviction is set aside and the appellant is acquitted and discharged,” said Justice Kamaludin who sat on the panel with Datuk Wira Ahmad Nasfy Yasin and Datuk Hashim Hamzah. Ahmad Kamil had appealed against the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s decision made on September 28, 2020 of sentencing him to death by hanging after finding him guilty of trafficking 1.6 kg of cannabis at an apartment in Wangsa Maju at 3.45pm on October 7, 2018.
