Mohd Jeefrey Jamil, a 49-year-old drug courier has been given the death penalty after he failed to receive a certificate of substantive assistance from the public prosecutor that would have given the High Court the option to sentence him to life imprisonment and caning. Drug traffickers must be deemed to have been merely couriers and to have provided substantive assistance in disrupting drug-trafficking activities in order for the courts to consider the alternative sentence.
Mohd Jeefrey was convicted of trafficking no less than 45.26g of diamorphine. He was arrested on March 23, 2012, at Hamilton Road while making his fifth delivery. Ten packets of the drug were found in his haversack.
