GEORGE TOWN: The bodyguard accused of going on a shooting spree at the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway last December has pleaded guilty to the offence of injuring a 32-year-old man in the incident.

Magistrate Che Rohana Ismail sentenced 38-year-old Ja'afar Halid to 12 months jail on Friday after he changed his plea and admitted to injuring Lim Boon Leng by pistol-whipping him on the head between 7.15pm and 7.30pm near the Penang Bridge intersection of the expressway on Dec 1 last year.
