On 7 October 2000, 34-year-old Hanafi Mat Hassan, a bus driver previously charged for property offences and rape, attacked a female passenger on his bus, raping and murdering her at a secluded area near Bukit Tinggi, Klang in Selangor, Malaysia.[1] The corpse of the victim, 24-year-old computer engineer Noor Suzaily Mukhtar, was later found at a construction site, and autopsy reports confirmed that she was raped and sodomized before her death via strangulation. Hanafi was arrested and charged with murder weeks after the crime. Hanafi was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in April 2002 and additionally given a 20-year jail term with 12 strokes of the cane for rape. Hanafi's appeals were dismissed and he was hanged on 19 December 2008.[2][3]
