High Court upholds life sentence for fisher over murders
Staff writer, with CNA
The High Court on Thursday upheld a life sentence handed down to a Filipino fisherman who went on a rampage on board a Taiwanese fishing vessel in 2019 that led to the deaths of eight crew members.
Aurelio Arafiles Fronda was convicted on charges of homicide, attempted murder and abandonment of a body by the Pingtung District Court in September last year, a ruling he subsequently appealed.
The incident took place on board the Wen Peng when it was operating in the Indian Ocean near Mauritius in February 2019.
