3 men jailed a year each for splashing paint on house, car
Magistrate S Mageswary ordered the three accused to serve their jail sentences from the date of their arrest on April 16.
PETALING JAYA : Three men were sentenced to a year's imprisonment each by the Kuala Lumpur magistrates' court today after pleading guilty to causing mischief by splashing paint on the exterior of a house two months ago.
Magistrate S Mageswary pronounced the sentence on technician Chin Zi Ping, company manager Tieu Boon Chow, and air conditioning technician Ooi Hong Leong, Bernama reported.
She ordered their sentences to begin from the date of their arrest on April 16.
The trio were charged with splashing paint on the exterior of a man's house, his car and motorcycle, causing RM10,000 in damage to the house at Taman Angkasa Batu 6, Brickfields, at 4.50am on March 29.
The charge was under Section 427 of the Penal Code for mischief, which provides for one to five years' imprisonment, a fine, or both, on conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Nur Farhana Poad asked that all three accused receive punishment commensurate with their crime, taking into consideration the cost of losses suffered by the victim.
Lawyer Nurul Diyana Basher from the National Legal Aid Foundation asked for a shorter jail sentence, as her clients had families and had apologised for their action.
