GEORGE TOWN: A bodyguard has been sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of three people, including his boss who was a businessman with the title Datuk.
Ja’afar Halid, 41, was found guilty by the High Court for the shooting of businessman Datuk Ong Teik Kwong, professional clown Choi Hon Ming and flower supplier M. Senthil.
The killings, which happened on the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway in 2016, was big news as the shooting happened on a busy highway that also led to the death of Choi and Senthil, who were passers-by.
