Vignes Mourthi

288:, the trial judge, determined in his verdict (published full on 20 October 2002) that Vignes was aware that he was carrying diamorphine based on his resistance he put up prior to the arrest and other evidence against him and it could not be incense stones as he claimed he believed to be. The inconsistencies of Vignes's account with the officers' evidence also led to the judge accepting that there was no inaccuracy in recording his statements. As for Moorthy, his alibi defence was contradicted by the numerous witness accounts of Vignes's family members who witnessed Moorthy at their family home during his visit, and it was more likely for Moorthy's family members to give evidence that were in his advantage when they were called to support Moorthy's alibi. Also, it was credible that he indeed instigated Vignes to deliver the diamorphine. As such, Vignes Mourthi and Moorthy Angappan were both found guilty of drug trafficking and 435:, however, stated that there was lack of merit in his appeal, since there was indeed no jurisdiction for the court to intervene in a case that had been tried and had its right to appeal exhausted, and there was already confirmation that Vignes was rightly convicted of the charge against him based on the evidence against him. In a sarcastic remark against Ravi (who remained defiant in court), CJ Yong harshly retorted, "You have to say goodbye to him, that's all you can do. He's going to be hanged anyhow." Due to the loss of his final appeal, Vignes was to be hanged at the same gallows as Moorthy, who similarly received his death warrant but did not appeal. The case was brought to the attention of local and international media due to the actions of Ravi and the legal saga brought forward by Vignes in his bid to evade the gallows, and human rights organisation 278:, told the court that he was not involved in the offence charged and only gave a ride to Vignes due to the latter's leg injury, as a repayment of Vignes's father's kindness to him back in 1998 when his then pregnant wife, mother and younger brother got into a car accident, and Vignes's father travelled from Perak to Seremban to ensure their welfare. Moorthy stated he was unfortunately implicated by Vignes in his statements due to Vignes not wanting to shoulder the rap alone and wanted another person to share the blame with him. He even claimed that he had an alibi and was at his sister's house celebrating his nephew's 7th birthday (which actually fell on 2 September) on the day he supposedly met Vignes and made the offer to Vignes to help deliver the drugs. 493:
Sergeant Rajkumar was locked away in prison for fifteen months after being convicted of bribery. Shadrake wrote about the questionable conduct of Sergeant Rajkumar in his testimony during the trial, and cast numerous aspersions on the Singapore judiciary by falsely claiming that the judiciary turned a blind eye at Sergeant Rajkumar's misdeeds and purposely suppressed knowledge of them until after Vignes was executed. These unproven allegations, plus the other false claims that Singapore spared the rich and educated from the gallows while reserving it for the poor, uneducated and disabled, were the main reasons for the Court of Appeal to dismiss Shadrake's appeal. Oppostition party
520:, an anti-death penalty activist, also wrote about Vignes's case, and cited that there was need to reform the procedure of investigations, due to the fact that an unsigned written note containing Vignes's admission to the officer that he carried diamorphine was admitted as one of the parts of evidence to prosecute Vignes. Han conceded that while there may be possible implications that played a role in Vignes's case due to Sergeant Rajkumar's legal troubles and character, the officers related to the drug cases she mentioned have acted according to their protocol. 416:. However, on 12 September 2003, the application was rejected after Justice Woo judged that the High Court had no jurisdiction whatsoever to intervene in a case where it was thoroughly scrutinized during both trial and appeal. Justice Woo also took to reprimand Ravi for his disrespect and lack of proper conduct when making his arguments and insulting the judge. Another re-trial request by Ravi was also rejected by Justice 271:, hence Moorthy gave him a ride. Mourthi also stated that he had never seen heroin before and realised that the packages contained drugs only after he was arrested. He denied telling the officers and interpreter in Tamil that the package contained "kallu" (meaning stone, which is the street name for diamorphine), but he insisted it contained "sambrani kallu", a type of Indian incense stone normally used in Indian temples. 450:. Vignes was 23 years old at the time of his execution. Both Vignes and Moorthy were the 11th and 12th persons to be executed in Singapore in the year 2003. Vignes's family were allowed to retrieve his body and they conducted a funeral and cremation for Vignes. His parents, sisters and other relatives were reportedly filled with heartbreak over Vignes's death. 500:
Subsequently, due to Shadrake's coverage of Vignes's case and information of Sergeant Rajkumar's misconduct, the family of Vignes and some Malaysian lawyers mounted a protest, seeking a posthumous acquittal of Vignes, whom they maintained as innocent in spite of the evidence to prove Vignes's genuine
