a Kenyan woman was sentenced to death

a Kenyan woman was sentenced to death after she was found guilty of trafficking in 3,747.63 grams of syabu. Justice Dato’ Abdul Rahman Sebli pronounced the sentence on Judith Achieng Odoyo, 31, after ruling that the latter had failed to raise any reasonable doubt on the prosecution’s case. Odoyo from Nairobi, Kenya was found guilty of trafficking in the drug at the passenger examination special unit in Terminal 1 of the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) about 8.45am on September 1. She was convicted under Section 39B (1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 which provides for the mandatory death sentence upon conviction. Nine witnesses were produced before the prosecution closed its case, while Odoyo was the sole witness for the defence and gave sworn statement before closing her case.
