SHAH ALAM: The Klang High Court on Friday (Feb 27) sentenced S. Davandrakumar, 33, to death by hanging after finding him guilty of murdering his ex-girlfriend’s three-year-old son in 2021. Judge Norliza Othman meted out the sentence after finding the defence had failed to raise a reasonable doubt at the end of the defence case. "The child was also immersed in water before being dragged to a room and beaten until death,” she said. Davandrakumar was charged with murdering the boy at a house in Taman Sentosa, Klang, between 9.30 am and 5.30 pm on Dec 24, 2021. In mitigation, lawyer Zamri Ibrahim stated that his client regretted his actions, promised not to repeat them, and requested a lighter sentence.
