Federal court commutes ex-hair stylist's death sentence to 40 years jail

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court on Thursday commuted the death sentence imposed on a former hair stylist to 40 years in jail for kidnapping and killing a sales girl, 16 years ago.

Justice Tengku Maimun, who presided with Federal Court judges Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof and Datuk Abu Bakar Jais, also ordered Teh to be given 17 strokes of the rotan. He lost his appeals which were dismissed by the Court of Appeal on May 8, 2013 and by the Federal Court on Oct 19, 2015. Deputy public prosecutor Dhiya Syazwani Izyan Mohd Akhir, however, asked the court to uphold the death sentence saying that Teh and his friend had also set the victim’s remains on fire.
