Thai woman gets death sentence for drug-trafficking
2009/08/19
KOTA BARU: The High Court here today passed the mandatory death sentence on a Thai woman after she was found guilty of trafficking in cannabis five years ago.
Judge Datuk Muhamad Ideres Muhamad Rapee ordered the sentence after the prosecution managed to prove a prima facie against Roseedah Cheubong, 41.
Roseedah, who was clad in a red baju kurung, was seen shedding tears when the sentence was passed on her.
Earlier, Roseedah's counsel Zamri Mat Nawang pleaded for leniency, saying that she was a single mother doing various odd jobs after her divorce to fend for herself and her teenage child, and that she regretted her action.
Malaysia, a country not to visit.
