Ibrahim bin Abdullah Puzone, a Filipino with a history of psychiatric problems, was sentenced to death

Ibrahim bin Abdullah Puzone, a Filipino with a history of psychiatric problems, was sentenced to death in Brunei for murdering his Filipina girlfriend. Brunei's High Court convicted Puzone, 50, and sentenced him to hang for the death of Vilma Taalal Misal in May 2003. 
The court heard Puzone stabbed Misal, a 25-year-old waitress, in the chest with a knife while she was working at a restaurant in Bandar Seri Begawan.
Puzone then tried to kill himself repeatedly with a knife, ice pick and paper cutter, but workers at the restaurant prevented him from fatally wounding himself.
Puzone's lawyers told the court he was on medication to treat a long history of psychiatric problems, and medical experts were flown in from Manila to testify that he was not aware of his actions when he murdered Misal.
But judge Dato Paduka Steven Chong said Puzone's mental illness was not a strong enough mitigating factor for him to escape the death pentaly.
