Published on: Tuesday, July 01, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 01, 2025 By: Marutin Ansiung Text Size: Each charge was framed under Section 376(2)(d) of the Penal Code. KENINGAU: A 40-year-old farmer was sentenced to 45 years in jail and 15 strokes of the cane by the Sessions Court here on three counts of incest against daughter, who has an intellectual disability, on Monday. The man pleaded guilty before Judge Ahmad Fairuz Mohd Puzi to committing the offence against his 14-year-old biological daughter, who is a registered person with an intellectual disability in August 2024, at a house in a village in Tambunan. Ahmad sentenced the man to 15 years in jail and five strokes of the cane for each charge. The court ordered Ahmad to serve the imprisonment sentence consecutively. Each charge was framed under Section 376(2)(d) of the Penal Code. Counsel Timothy Daut, representing the man, requested a lenient sentence, stating that he had admitted his wrongdoing and repented. Timothy also submitted that the man had no prior criminal record and was willing to undergo rehabilitation. Deputy Public Prosecutor Ling Guong Zhin urged the court to impose a heavier sentence to serve as a deterrent to society. The court heard that the man was arrested by police on Aug 29, 2024, following a report lodged by the Tambunan Health Clinic. * 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?
