The Federal Court here today upheld the conviction and death sentence of a former lawyer and two of his farm hands, but acquitted one of the appellant, for the murder of cosmetic millionairess Sosilawati Lawiya and her three aides, nearly seven years ago.
The former lawyer and the farm hands are N. Pathmanabhan, 47, T. Thilaiyalagan, 25, and R. Kathavarayan, 37.
A five-man panel chaired by Chief Justice Arifin Zakaria, in their judgment today, said there were overwhelming evidence to show that Sosilawati and her three aides were murdered at Pathmanbhan's farm in Banting.
The panel, which also comprised Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Richard Malanjum and federal court judges Suriyadi Halim Omar, Azahar Mohamed and Zaharah Ibrahim, however, acquitted the third appellant, R.Matan, 26, on grounds of insufficient evidence to implicate him to the murder.
