A 19-year-old man with special needs, who was tortured in a hotel room, endured multiple acts of torment by his assailants including having boiling water poured on him, a district court heard.
According to court documents, one of his four alleged tormentors is said to have tainted his Milo drink with faeces. Baby powder and perfume were also allegedly mixed into his nasi lemak.
Court documents did not mention whether the victim consumed the nasi lemak and beverage.
One of his alleged tormentors, a 17-year-old girl, who cannot be named due to her age, was charged in court yesterday after she allegedly poured boiling water on him.
She is accused of one count of voluntarily causing hurt to the man by using a heated substance. Her case has been adjourned to Oct 11.
The girl allegedly committed the offence with Muhammad Shahfakhry Mohamad Faizal, 21, whose case is pending.
Shahfakhry is accused of committing multiple offences involving the man.
Two others involved in the man’s torment were dealt with in court earlier.
Putri Nuramira Aishah Rosli, 20, was sentenced on Sept 14 to at least a year of reformative training, which involves detention in a centre with a strict regimen that can include foot drills and counselling.Another teenage girl was also sentenced to at least a year of reformative training in July.
She cannot be named because she was only 16 at the time of her offences. — The Straits Times/ANN
