KUCHING: The Court of Appeal deferred to Oct 8 its decision in the appeal by a woman who has been sentenced to death for the murder of her husband, a former bank branch manager, in Sibu seven years ago.
The court was to have delivered its decision yesterday but Justice Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof, who headed a three-member panel, said the chronology of the case is incomplete for the court to make a decision in the appeal brought by Ling Hang Tsyr, 38.
Hakim Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof yang mengetuai panel tiga hakim iaitu Datuk Suraya Othman dan Datuk Wira Kamaludin Md Said berkata mahkamah memerlukan masa untuk meneliti hujahan kes berkenaan sebelum membuat keputusan.
Ling Hang Tsyr, 38, merayu terhadap keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi Sibu pada 17 Okt, 2017 yang menjatuhkan hukuman mati terhadapnya selepas didapati bersalah atas pertuduhan bersubahat membunuh suaminya, Wong Jing Kui, 31, di rumah mereka di Jalan Ulu Sungai Merah, Sibu, jam 1.30 pagi, 14 Jun, 2012.
Kerani bank bahagian pemulihan kredit itu didakwa melakukan kesalahan berkenaan bersama teman lelakinya, Andrew Tiong King Guan, 31, yang belum didakwa kerana menghilangkan diri sejak 10 Feb 2015.
