CHIANG MAI: A Chinese couple’s visit to Chiang Mai turned into a tragedy on Thursday (Aug 1) when a large tree fell on a cable bridge and dropped them from a great height.
KUALA LUMPUR: An Indonesian man has been sentenced to 15 years in jail and three strokes of the cane by the Sessions Court here for raping his neighbour's 10-year-old daughter.
"The court, after studying the testimony of the prosecution and defence witnesses, finds the accused guilty of the offence under Section 376 of the Penal Code," he said and ordered the accused to serve the jail sentence from Friday. The girl, when testifying in court, said that on the day of the incident, her mother was not at home and her younger sister was at the babysitter's house when the accused known as 'Pak Kassim' knocked on her door.
Earlier, Deputy Public Prosecutor Noorhani Muhmmed Ayub requested the court to impose a severe punishment as a lesson to the accused and the seriousness of the offence.
