GEORGE TOWN: The High Court here ordered a personal bodyguard to be sent to the gallows after finding him guilty of murdering his employer and two others in a shooting incident along the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway four years ago.
Judge Datuk Abdul Wahab Mohamed handed down the death sentence on Ja’afar Halid, 41, after finding the defence having failed to establish reasonable doubts against the prosecution’s case at the end of the defence case.
