| Bus conductor gets jail, cane for <b>hotel</b> robbery BorneoPost Online <b>...</b> Posted: 02 Sep 2014 05:13 PM PDT KOTA KINABALU: The Sessions Court here yesterday sentenced a bus conductor to seven years' jail and ordered him to be whipped once for robbing a Sarawakian man with a machete. Mohd Izam Suliman, 35, pleaded guilty before judge Azhaniz Teh Azman Teh, to a charge under Section 392 of the Penal Code, punishable under Section 397 of the same Code. The indictment provides for a jail term of up to 20 years and is also liable to a fine, upon conviction. Mohd Izam had robbed the 23-year-old victim of RM450 in cash at the lobby of a hotel in Kampung Air here on December 28, 2013. Deputy public prosecutor Afzan Abd Kahar told the court that the accused had lodged a report on the same day stating that he was robbed by the accused, who was armed with a machete. The accused was arrested on February 7 this year and the victim had identified him during the identification parade. Mohd Izam, who was defended by counsel Farazwin Hexdy, pleaded for the lowest punishment on the grounds that the offence did not involve any violence. She also said that her client had been detained since seven months ago as he was denied bail during his first arraignment in court. In reply, deputy public prosecutor Afzan Abd Kahar urged the court to take utmost consideration on the public interest and the gravity of the offence as it is rampant particularly in Sabah. The victim stated in his impact statement that he felt traumatised because of the robbery. Meanwhile, the same court transferred a robbery case involving two siblings to the Juvenile's Court here. No plea was recorded from the two boys aged 14 and 16. The two brothers were alleged to have robbed a 37-year-old Japanese woman of a handbag containing RM1,000 in cash and her cosmetics worth RM1,000 at a taxi station of a shopping centre here at 8pm on August 7.   |
