    PUTRAJAYA: A former security guard who was convicted and sentenced to death for murdering an AmBank officer three years ago has lost his final appeal in the Federal Court.
    Chairing a five-man panel, Court of Appeal President Justice Md Raus Sharif said the decision was unanimous.
    Justice Md Raus said the court affirmed the conviction and death sentence against La Ode Ardi Rasila, 39, meted out by the Shah Alam High Court.
    La Ode was charged with killing Norazita Abu Talib and firing a pump gun while committing robbery with the intention of causing Norazita's death.
