"Kallang slashings: Malaysian convicted of 'savage, merciless' 2010 murder is executed
SINGAPORE: Micheal Garing, a 30-year-old Malaysian who was convicted over the murder of a construction worker in the Kallang slashings in 2010 was executed at Changi Prison on Friday (Mar 22), said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
Micheal was part of a group of four who went on a robbery spree in May 2010, severely wounding several victims and killing Indian national Shanmuganathan Dillidurai.
Micheal was convicted and sentenced to death on Apr 25, 2015. His appeal was dismissed by the High Court in February 2017, with the Judges of Appeal saying then that the "sheer brutality" exhibited by Micheal, who had attacked Mr Dillidurai in a "totally savage and merciless manner", warranted the death penalty.
"In its written judgment, the Court of Appeal said the death penalty was warranted for Micheal as he had attacked the deceased using the parang in a totally savage and merciless manner," MHA added.
The ministry also said that Micheal had submitted a petition for clemency to President Halimah Yacob, which was unsuccessful.
"Micheal was accorded full due process under the law, and was represented by legal counsel throughout the process," MHA said."
It is good that the death sentence was carried out as recently a few death sentences were not.
It is totally necessary for killers, murderers n drug pushers to know that they hv to face the consequences of directly killing another human being!!
For some liberals n humanitarians, they may feel that "a life for a life" is too primitive n savage, the sympathy will b misplaced.
RIP to the victim n the murderer.
