00:00A federal court review panel upheld the death sentences for former lawyer N. Pazwanaban
00:07and ex-farmhand T. Tilayalagan for the murder of cosmetics millionaire Susilawati Lawia
00:13and her three aides 14 years ago.
00:15Chief Justice Tengkumay Muntuanmat, who chaired the three-member bench, said that capital
00:20punishment was appropriate for the case.
00:23The court dismissed the review, noting that the modus operandi of the murders was directly
00:28related to the applicants' convictions.
00:31Fellow convict R. Katavarayan withdrew his application for a sentence review, lawyer
00:35Latifa Koya told the court.
00:38The trio had sought to have their death sentences commuted to imprisonment under the Mandatory
00:42Death Penalty Abolition Act 2023, which allows judges discretion in sentencing.
00:48According to past reports, Susilawati and three others were brutally murdered in 2010
00:53after they met with Pazwanaban to discuss a multi-million ringgit land deal.
00:57Their bodies were later burnt and their ashes were dumped into a nearby river and other
01:01nearby locations.
