Appellate court upholds 18-year jail, caning sentence for man convicted of incest
THE Court of Appeal today maintained a sentence of 18 years of imprisonment and 12 strokes of the cane, which a 32-year-old casual labourer received after he was found guilty of committing incest towards his sister-in-law who was aged 17 at the time of the crime.
The three-judge panel led by Justice Yaacob Md Sam dismissed the labourer’s appeal after it found that no error had been committed by the Kota Baru High Court in 2018, in affirming the 2017 decision of the Pasir Mas Sessions Court in Kelantan to convict and sentence the man.
