Federal Court upholds 35-year jail term for two men convicted of murder

The Federal Court has rejected the final appeal by S Sandanam and R Ramesh, upholding their 35-year prison sentences for murder. The dismissal of their appeal marks the end of legal proceedings in the case and confirms the lower court's conviction. Both men have also been sentenced to 12 strokes of the cane as part of their punishment. The pair's conviction followed a lengthy legal process that included multiple appeals through Malaysia's court system. With the Federal Court's decision, the sentences are now final and binding.
