PETALING JAYA: Two brothers who received a last minute reprieve from a scheduled execution in February will now face the noose this Friday. The brothers were sentenced to death in April 2010 under Section 302 of the Penal Code after they were found guilty of murdering Krishnan Raman on Feb 4, 2006. "This is a surprising move considering there is a clemency application pending a decision by the Negri Sembilan Pardons Board. "Rames and Suthar must not be executed while there is an appeal pending," Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu, Amnesty International Malaysia (AIM) Executive Director said in a statement on Monday night. It has no place in a world that believes in human rights and the dignity of mankind," she added.
