A Malaysian court in the island of Borneo has finally found an Indonesian fishmonger, 24-year-old Zulkipli Abdullah, guilty of murdering two British medical students, 22-year-old Aidan Brunger and Neil Dalton, in a case that carries a mandatory death penalty.

Both the victims were Newcastle University students working at a local hospital in Kuching, who were killed in Sarawak on the island of Borneo in August last year. According to an inquest into their deaths last year, both the victims were stabbed and killed after an incident in a bistro or cafe in the early hours of the morning. The bodies of the two victims were identified by their fathers when they were flown back to the UK.

According to a press conference by the parents of the two victims, namely Phil and Jan Dalton and Paul Brunger and Sue Hidson, “since Aidan and Neil were killed on 6 August 2014, our lives have been shattered. They were two exceptional young men with such promise – kind, funny and full of life. Their deaths have left their families and many good friends utterly devastated.” The parents added that “Neil and Aidan were having a wonderful time in Borneo working in Sarawak Hospital and also travelling around seeing as much of the beautiful country as they could. Both boys said how very welcoming and friendly the people were.” “Our sons would soon have qualified as doctors. Their unprovoked and senseless murders as they were walking home after a night out with other medical students mean that Aidan and Neil will never have the chance to spend their lives caring for and helping others.”
