MALAYSIA. CASHIER TO HANG FOR MURDER

V. Alaggandiran, a 26 year old former cashier of a video game arcade, was sentenced to the gallows by the High Court in Shah Alam, Malaysia, after being found guilty of murdering a factory worker because the latter was in love with his cousin.
Spotting a maroon shirt and blue jeans, Alaggandiran looked at the floor and wiped his face after the sentence was read out.
Alaggandiran was caught on August 16, 2000 and charged with murdering N. Vikneswaran, 17, at the Sungai Buloh industrial area at about 9.15 pm on May 3, 1999. Vikneswaran died of stab wounds in the heart and liver.
