While Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) maintains a firm stance on the effectiveness of the death penalty in managing drug trafficking in Singapore, the article presents evidence suggesting that the methodologies and interpretations of these studies might not be as substantial as portrayed.

SUDAN HANGS TWO FOR RAPE AND MURDER OF FOUR YEAR OLD

January 1, 2008: two Sudanese men sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a four year old girl were executed in a prison in Khartoum, the local press reported.

Motassem Abdallah Khairallah, 21, and Imad Tibn, 19, were hanged and their bodies handed over to their families amid tight security, the daily Al-Sudani reported.

The execution had been due to take place on November 27 but was postponed at the last minute after an appeal by defence laywers who said the two accused had not been given a fair trial. The appeal was dimissed.

The two were sentenced to death and to 100 lashes each on January 21, 2007, for raping and murdering Muram Awad Sadiq in a case that caused outrage because it also took place during the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr in October 2006.
