: Two turtle egg collectors escaped the gallows after the Court of Appeal here today commuted the mandatory death sentence to 12 years imprisonment, for causing the death of their colleague who was trying to break up a fight, eight years ago.

“Therefore, the sentence under Section 302 of the Penal Code is set aside, and replaced with a 12-year prison sentence, starting from the date of arrest,” said Judge Hadhariah. The other judges on the bench were Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim and Mohamed Zaini Mazlan.

The charge, framed under Section 304 , was read to Faizol Aznan and Mohd Riduan and they later pleaded guilty to the charge. Based on the facts of the case, Faizol Aznan had an argument with a man, who is also a turtle egg collector, regarding the division of the turtle laying area on the beach.
