PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Court of Appeal on Thursday (Oct 28) reinstated a 12-year jail term and two strokes of the cane to a former lorry driver for raping his neighbour’s underage daughter, resulting in the girl becoming pregnant and trying to commit suicide.

A three-judge panel of the Court of Appeal, led by Datuk Suraya Othman, allowed the 60-year-old man's appeal against the Shah Alam High Court's decision on Feb 28, 2020, which sentenced him to 25 years in prison and 10 strokes of the cane.

Suraya said that the High Court judge had misdirected in using the provisions under the Penal Code when increasing the sentence of 12 years imprisonment and two strokes of the cane to 25 years imprisonment and 10 strokes of the cane after allowing the prosecution’s appeal. "Therefore, the court set aside the sentence of the High Court and reinstated the sentence meted out by the Sessions Court, starting from the date of arrest on June 11, 2017,” she said.

Based on the facts of the case, in mid-March 2017, the appellant had taken the victim to the appellant's house, on the pretext of celebrating his son’s birthday, and upon arriving at the appellant's house, there were no one in the house.
