KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has convicted six men, including an army pathologist, for the murder of Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Datuk Anthony Kevin Morais, who was found dead in a gruesome manner almost five years ago. “The accused persons are therefore found guilty and sentenced to death,” he said here yesterday. DPP Saiful Edris Zainuddin told the court that the victim’s next of kin was prepared to read a victim impact statement (VIS). “There is only one sentence,” Justice Azman said, referring to the mandatory death penalty ascribed under the law for Section 302 of the Penal Code. Morais’ brother Datuk Richard Morais, who was present at the public gallery, appeared relieved after the decision was delivered.
