: The Court of Appeal was informed today that the conduct of six former students of Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia , who tortured UPNM Naval Cadet Officer Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain, resulting in scalding burns covering 80 per cent of his body from 90 instances of steam ironing, constituted an extreme act.
According to Mangai, former UPNM students, prosecution witness 24, Ahmad Senabil Mohamad, and PW25 Mohd Syafiq Abdullah were the eyewitnesses in this case. Their testimony indicated that the first to fifth respondents alternately pressed the steam iron onto the deceased, while the instruction to do so was given by the sixth respondent.
“According to PW6, out of the 90 burn marks on the deceased’s body, 29 of them were third-degree, indicating the most severe level of burns, with visible wet muscle tissue and bleeding. These burn injuries would lead to death even with treatment,“ she explained. “He is a crucial witness for my client, and in previous testimony, the witness stated that he was with Muhammad Najib on the dates of the incident to study in their friend’s room,“ said the lawyer.
On Nov 2, 2021, the High Court sentenced six former university students to 18 years in prison after they were found guilty of causing the death of Zulfarhan, without the intent to kill.
