Zambian Student In Tears After Getting Death Sentence
SHAH ALAM: A 25-year-old Zambian student broke down in tears after the High Court sentenced her to death for trafficking 1.3kg of methamphetamine.
Nachilongo Doreen sobbed upon learning about her conviction and sentence through an interpreter here yesterday.
She was charged with trafficking the drugs in front of the international arrival hall at KL International Airport in Sepang at 3pm on Feb 23, last year.
Justice Noor Azian Shaari, in her ruling, said the court did not accept the accused’s claim that the drugs were planted in her bag when she was detained by the Immigration Department for eight hours.
“From the way the drugs were properly placed at the bottom of the bag and how it was glued, the court finds it impossible for the drugs to be planted in her bag during her detention,” said the judge.
Justice Noor Azian also pointed out that although the accused claimed she had come to Malaysia to look for a job, her flight ticket stated that she was only staying in the country for a week.
Records also showed the accused had booked a stay at the Hilton Hotel.
“I find her defence to be unreasonable. The defence has failed to raise a reasonable doubt in the case,” she added before passing the mandatory death sentence.
The accused was represented by Amrit Pal Singh while DPP Suzana Abd Latiff appeared for the prosecution
