18 years jail, whipping for brutal assault on woman in MRT lift

Bernama  |  Published: 

A man was sentenced to 18 years in jail and five strokes of the cane by the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur today for voluntarily causing hurt to a woman bank manager when robbing her in an MRT Station lift.

Judge Mahyon Talib meted out the punishment to G Thinathayaalan, 26, after he was found guilty of causing injury while committing robbery.

“After hearing arguments from both parties, the court ruled that the accused has failed to raise reasonable doubt and the prosecution has succeeded in proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt,” she said after the accused gave his statement of defence from the dock.

The court ordered the accused, who worked as an air-conditioner serviceman, to serve the jail sentence from his date of arrest on Feb 18.

Thinathayaalan was accused of having robbed bank manager Lee Meei Shan, 48, of her identity card, driving license, two bank ATM cards, two bank credit cards and RM400 cash and voluntarily causing hurt to her in a lift at the MRT Station at Taman Mutiara, Cheras at 6.45am on Feb 14.
