KUALA LUMPUR: A 21-year-old jobless man was sentenced to seven years in jail and three whippings by a Sessions Court here for hurting a foreign woman during a robbery after he was invited to a sexual tryst.
Didi Khairul Salleh Abuzar admitted to hurting Wu Keying from China while robbing her at a unit in Bangunan Wisma Indah in Wangsa Maju at 6.15am on Sept 30.
He was charged under Section 394 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt while committing a robbery.
According to the statement of facts, Didi heeded Wu's invitation to have sex with her at her home.
Wu screamed for help and a scuffle ensued.
The victim was stabbed in her abdomen and hand, and became unconscious.
Didi tried to run away but was trapped inside the house as the grille was locked, and was still there when the police came to arrest him.
On Monday, the accused, who was unrepresented, pleaded for leniency.
“I have to take care of my sick mother at home. I ask for a second chance. I am remorseful of my actions and promised not to commit crime again,” he said.
DPP Kamarul Aris Kamalluddin, however, asked the court to mete out a heavy sentence as the accused had committed a serious offence.
"The victim was gutted during the stabbing and there were injuries on her hand. She had to seek treatment at the hospital.
"The court must consider the public's interest in this case. The accused had done something very dangerous,” he said.
Sessions Court judge Rohatul Akmar Abdullah then passed the sentence and ordered for the jail time to run from the date of arrest.
