: The Court of Appeal has set three days from May 14 to hear the prosecution’s appeal against a High Court’s decision to sentence six former Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia students initially charged with murdering cadet officer Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain to 18 years in prison for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
“On the same day, the court will also hear the prosecution’s appeal against the High Court’s decision to sentence five of the six former UPNM students and 12 others to three years in prison for injuring Zulfarhan,“ he said when met by reporters after the case came up for mention today. On Nov 2, 2021, the Kuala Lumpur High Court sentenced the six students, namely Muhammad Akmal Zuhairi Azmal, Muhammad Azamuddin Mad Sofi, Muhammad Najib, Muhammad Afif Najmudin Azahat, Mohamad Shobirin Sabri dan Abdoul Hakeem Mohd Ali to 18 years in jail after they were found guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to the murder of Zulfarhan Osman.
The judge, in his decision, however, said that the court found all the accused guilty under Section 304 of the Penal Code for causing injuries to the deceased with no intent to murder, which carries a jail term of up to 30 years and shall also be liable to a fine, upon conviction.
