PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal (CoA) set aside a man's death sentence by the High Court and replaced with 35 years' jail and 12 strokes of the rotan for murdering his girlfriend's six-year-old son in Perlis in 2018. 

A three-member panel chaired by Justice Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail, who sat with Justices Datuk Azman Abdullah and Datuk Azmi Ariffin, made the unanimous decision.
