Unemployed man jailed six years for beating teenage son with stick
Published on: Friday, June 06, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jun 06, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: A 43-year-old unemployed man was sentenced to six years in jail and fined RM2,000, in default three months' imprisonment, for injuring his teenage son with a wooden stick. Shahmar Asecio pleaded guilty before Sessions Court Judge Marlina Ibrahim to causing hurt to his 16-year-old son at a house in Kampung Baitam Laut, Membakut, on 2 June. Advertisement The court heard Shahmar struck his son on the shoulder, head and right leg while the boy was in the kitchen, and later threatened him with a machete when the mother intervened. The incident led the frightened boy to lodge a police report, and Shahmar was arrested the same day. The judge ordered the sentence to run concurrently with another offence, rejecting Shahmar's plea for leniency after the prosecution called for a deterrent sentence. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
