At the Kuala Lumpur sessions court today, Nur Muhd Rusydi Abdul Raman, 32, pleaded guilty to the charge of committing robbery with a dangerous weapon.

KUALA LUMPUR:
A businessman was sentenced to 10 years in prison and two strokes of the cane by the sessions court here today after pleading guilty to robbing an engineer, resulting in losses of over RM190,000 by the victim last month.

Judge Egusra Ali handed down the sentence on Nur Muhd Rusydi Abdul Raman, 32, and ordered it to be served from the date of arrest, which was on Oct 29.

Rusydi and another person still at large were jointly charged with robbing Hafidz Ismail, 43, of valuables including an iPhone 15 Plus mobile phone and RM9,000 when armed with a grass-cutter.

The offence was committed at a house in Precinct 16, Putrajaya at 3am, on Oct 27.

The charge was framed under Sections 395/397 of the Penal Code and read together with Section 34 of the same law.

Deputy public prosecutor Nor Aisyah Zanyuin appeared for the prosecution while Rusydi was unrepresented.

In the same court, Rusydi’s friend, Ezwan Kamaruzaman, 32, pleaded not guilty to the same charge, while another friend, Abdul Rahman Abdullah, 35, pleaded not guilty to a charge of possessing stolen property.

The offence, under Section 412 of the Penal Code, was allegedly committed at Jalan Kampung Laksamana, Batu Caves, Gombak at 4.30 pm on Oct 29.

Both of them, represented by lawyer Nurul Diyana Basher, were allowed bail of RM15,000 with two sureties. They were also ordered to surrender their passports to the court and report themselves at a police station once a month pending disposal of their cases.

Egusra set Dec 6 for mention of their cases.
