PUTRAJAYA, March 14 — The Federal Court today reinstated the death penalty for a former lorry driver convicted of murdering his wife and seven-month-old daughter in 2016.

Notably, the decision coincided with Satvender Singh’s 39th birthday.

A three-judge panel comprising Justices Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang, Datuk Abu Bakar Jais, and Datuk Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil allowed the prosecution’s appeal to reinstate the High Court’s initial conviction and sentence.
