ALOR SETAR: The High Court here today sentenced two men to death after finding them guilty of trafficking in 2,805 grammes of ganja in Gurun four years ago.
Justice Datuk Zamani A. Rahim handed down the judgement after the defence failed to raise a reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case against factory van driver Rizal Sham Ahmad, 32, and his friend, unemployed Md Fitri Md Saad, 31.
They had been charged under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 with trafficking the drug at a parking lot opposite the Aneka supermarket in Gurun at about 4pm on Feb 7, 2006. The act provides for the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.
Rizal Sham was represented by counsel M. Chandran and Md. Fitri by A. Ashok while Deputy Public Prosecutor Norshuhada Mohd Yatim appeared for the prosecution.
