: The Federal Court today upheld the death sentence imposed on a former barber for the murder of an 11-month-old baby girl known as ‘Zara’ who suffered serious vaginal injuries due to sexual assault, six years ago.
Earlier, lawyer T. Vijayandran, representing Hazmi, submitted that his client was unaware of his action as he was under the influence of drugs and requested the death sentence to be set aside and replaced with a 30-year imprisonment. “The victim was sent by her mother to the babysitter’s house at 6.45 am on the day of the incident and the child died at 1.30 pm. She only weighs 8.26 kilograms, her teeth have not yet grown and the severe haemorrhaging of the brain means that her chances of survival are slim,“ she said.
The man was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code which provides for the death penalty, upon conviction.
