The lawyer of Songsil Udtoom, who was convicted of possessing firearms, says the court refuses to give its reasoned judgment.

PETALING JAYA: A Thai national on death row for possession of firearms is challenging his capital punishment even as the Federal Court that convicted him refuses to offer reasons for the verdict.

“The refusal of the Federal Court to give Songsil the grounds of judgment when his life is being taken away is a breach of Article 5 of the Federal Constitution,” he told FMT. “A letter from the Federal Court registry stated that the judgment will not be made available because it did not generate new points of law,” he said, adding that the review application was filed last month.

Songsil; his older brother Jukkis; Loo Yeong Guang from Rantau, Negeri Sembilan; and his Thai girlfriend Phailin Noochangphueak were sentenced to death by the High Court in 2012.
