Taiping court imposes 40-year sentence in fatal shop fire case

The court outcome

Free Malaysia Today reported on 28 October that the Taiping High Court convicted Muzammil Mohamad of murdering Ng Wai Keong by setting fire to his shop in Batu Kurau in 2020. The reported sentence was 40 years in prison and 12 strokes of the cane.

Distinguishing the findings

The report describes a court conviction for murder. Its description of the victim as an alleged online gambling operator is separate and should not be treated as a court finding about gambling activity.
