Roslan Bakar and Pausi Jefridin
Roslan Bakar (1971 – 15 November 2024) and Pausi Jefridin (1985 – 15 November 2024) were a pair of drug traffickers convicted and sentenced to death for a joint 2008 drug trafficking case. Roslan, a Singaporean, and Pausi, a Malaysian from Sabah, were both charged for the trafficking of 96.07g of diamorphine (pure heroin), and tried together in the same trial for the offence, before they were given the death penalty on 22 April 2010.A controversial point of the men's cases were that the pair had low IQ, and human rights activists urged the government of Singapore to commute their death sentences to life imprisonment on account of intellectual disability. Roslan was reportedly diagnosed with borderline intelligence while Pausi had an IQ of 67. However, the courts of Singapore had rejected the men's appeals to be re-sentenced and upheld that the men did not have an abnormality of the mind and were well aware of the magnitude of their crimes.
Both Roslan and Pausi were originally scheduled to hang on 16 February 2022, but their executions were temporarily stayed due to an appeal, and two years later, both men were hanged in Changi Prison on 15 November 2024. Provided by Wikipedia
