Appeal denied: 20-year jail term stays for man who chopped wife’s body into pieces

Court deems Bangladeshi’s imprisonment appropriate, considering brutal nature of the crime

PUTRAJAYA – The Court of Appeal has upheld the 20-year jail term imposed on a Bangladeshi man for culpable homicide not amounting to the murder of his wife, whose body was chopped into six parts and stuffed into two luggage bags five years ago.

Md Shahzada Saju’s appeal for a lower imprisonment term was dismissed today by the court’s three-member panel, comprising justices Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera, Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, and Datuk S.M. Komathy Suppiah.

In delivering the court decision, justice Vazeer said the 20-year jail sentence was appropriate based on the circumstances of the case, where the killing was done in a gruesome manner.

He also said the high court had not committed any error in imposing the 20-year jail term, and the appellate court did not want to disturb the sentence.

Shahzada, 42, a former waiter, was initially charged on August 7, 2018, with murdering Sajeda-E Bulbul, 29, also a Bangladeshi, in an unnumbered room in Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah in Dang Wangi, Kuala Lumpur, between 4.15am on July 3 and 3.16am on July 5, 2018.

Acting on information, police inspected the scene and found two bags of luggage containing dismembered body parts of the woman by the riverbank of Sg Gombak near Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur.

A post-mortem was conducted and confirmed that the woman’s death was caused by an incised wound to the neck with decapitation. Police arrested Shahzada in Pengerang, Johor, on July 25, 2018. – October 6, 2023
