    Court accepted the accused's guilty plea to section 304(a) Kanun Keseksaan, found the facts established admission and forensic evidence supported causation, applied sentencing principles balancing public interest and mitigation (first offender, remorse, family responsibilities, early plea) and imposed 13 years' imprisonment backdated to arrest on 23.08.2023 as a sentence commensurate with the offence and within statutory maximum.
