In May 2017, our country was rocked by the news that a young Marine Cadet Officer and student at the National Defence University of Malaysia (UPNM), Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain, was found dead after being tortured by his fellow university mates.

The case is still ongoing to this day and today, a pivotal decision was made by the Court of Appeal, whereby 6 former UPNM cadets have been sentenced to death for the murder of the victim.
