Malaysian jailed over princess' murder
One of five men on trial for kidnapping and killing a Malaysian prince's wife has been sentenced to 14 years in jail.
The man, Mat Saad Mat Isa, had denied murdering the former model, Hasleza Ishak, but on Tuesday pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of culpable homicide. The trial of the other four men continues. Hasleza Ishak was the second of two wives of a prince from Perak state, Raja Jaafar Raja Muda Musa. Her body was found in October on the banks of a river about 170 kilometres (100 miles) north of the capital, Kuala Lumpur. The prince's first wife, Raja Nor Mahani Raja Shahar Shah, was questioned about the killing but later released. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
