Aslinda -- deemed to have played a more active role in the crime -- faces execution if her final appeal, which could be heard at any time, is not successful. Aslinda told the court how, while looking for jobs online in late 2014, she met a man called Chibuzor Onwuka, who offered her generous commissions to transport goods from China to Cambodia. It is unclear whether Onwuka has been arrested, with court documents saying only that his case was being "handled separately." In May this year, a Singaporean judge sentenced a man to death by hanging over Zoom , attracting widespread outrage. Singapore and China are among the minority of states that execute prisoners.
