: A couple escaped the gallows today after the Court of Appeal substituted their murder charge with committing culpable homicide not amounting to murder for the death of their eight-year-old son.
She said High Court judge Datuk Noorin Badaruddin made an error when she did not distinguish the difference between Section 299 and Section 300 of the Penal Code and this warranted appellate intervention. Lawyers S. Jayananda Rao and Saladin Mohd Yasin, representing Eng Wan and En respectively, argued that the couple should not be convicted of murder but on a lesser charge of committing culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
