MATARAM - An Indonesian worker from West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara province, Adi bin Asnawi, who had earlier been sentenced to death in a murder case in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, has been acquitted by a higher court which had found him insane.
Information obtained from reliable sources in Mataram on Tuesday said Adi was freed from the death sentence after the Seremban High Court in Negeri Sembilan State, West Malaysia, issued a ruling affirming that he was insane. As reported earlier, a local district court in Malaysia sentenced Adi bin Asnawi to death. Although the Seremban high court had acquitted Adi , until now he is still being detained in a Malaysian jail, pending a pure release from the Negeri Sembilan Sultanate in West Malaysia which will take at least six months. Adi's parents especially his mother Zakiyah and his father Asnawi were very happy with Adi's acquittal from the gallows. (Jp/ant/PAB) |
