&nbsp;
High court Judge Datuk Azman Abdullah had read out the verdict on Tuesday. Six accused were found guilty under Section 304 of the Penal Code on charges of causing injury without intent to kill.
The six consist of:
<ul>
<li>Muhammad Akmal Zuhairi Azmal</li>
<li>Muhammad Azamuddin Mad Sofi</li>
<li>Muhammad Najib Mohd Razi</li>
<li>Muhammad Afif Najmudin Azahat</li>
<li>Mohamad Shobirin Sabri</li>
<li>Abdoul Hakeem Mohd Ali</li>
</ul>
Another 12 are guilty of intentionally causing injury to the victim to obtain a confession that he had &ldquo;stolen a laptop&rdquo;.
The twelve consist of:
<ul>
<li>Mohd Hafiz Fauzan Ismail</li>
<li>Mohamad Lukhmanul Hakim Mohd Zain</li>
<li>Ahmad Shafwan Berdal</li>
<li>Muhammad Amirul Asraff Mala</li>
<li>Luqman Hakim Shamsuri</li>
<li>Muhammad Sufi Mohd Mustapha</li>
<li>Noriznan Izzairi Noor Azhar</li>
<li>Muhamad Ashraf Abdullah</li>
<li>Muhammad Danial Firdaus Azmir</li>
<li>Muhammad Hasif Ismail</li>
<li>Muhammad Adib Iman Fuad Ady Sany</li>
<li>Mohamad Syazwan Musa</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
All of the accused (except for Mohamad Shobirin) and the 12 former students were sentenced to three years in prison after being guilty under Section 330, in conjunction with Section 34 of the Penal Code for causing injury to Zulfarhan.
The jai terms of Muhammad Akmal Zuhairi, Muhammad Azamuddin, Muhammad Najib, Muhammad Afif, and Abdoul Hakeem were ordered to run concurrently from the date of arrest on 1 June 2017. Meanwhile, the court also allowed a stay of jail sentences for the give accused pending an appeal.
The decision was made after a failure to raise reasonable doubts about the case

&nbsp;
Earlier, the five of them along with Mohamad Shobirin were charged with murder and abetting to kill Zulfarhan and charged under Section 302 and Section 109 of the Penal Code which carries the mandatory death sentence.
However, they were later charged under Section 304 (a) of the same code which has a maximum jail term of 30 years and a fine.

&nbsp;
The &ldquo;cadet could have been saved&rdquo;
Zulfarhan could have been saved from this incident as Justice Azman Abdullah noted that a witness in the case wrote an anonymous litter to the upper management of University Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) about the abuse incident.
The trainer who received the letter had then exposed the content in a WhatsApp group instead than taking action. The judge said that if the trainer used her common sense, the deceased could have been saved.
&ldquo;But fate did not side with the deceased as this high-ranking person, a captain, still did not have the mind (pendek akal) when she spread the letter in the chat group,&rdquo; he said.

&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the medical officer from the private clinic in Bangi could have saved him as well as all hospitals and clinics have direct contact to authorities if there is a sign of abuse to patients. Instead, the doctor was told that he was involved in a blow-up during his training which effected his whole body including his private part but not his face.
Father of Zulfarhan forgives those involved in his son&rsquo;s death

&nbsp;
Zulkarnain Idros,57, said it is not easy for him but it&rsquo;s the best thing to do to find peace in his heart. However, he was disappointed as only one of the accused families came to them to apologise on behalf of their sons while the others had avoided them during the court proceedings.
At least, justice has been served for the family. Hopefully incidents like this do not happen again and that university officials should start taking things like this more seriously as this is someone&rsquo;s life on the line.
