MCO violation: Fine for youth who left girlfriend's body in garage increased to RM1,000

KUANTAN (Bernama): The High Court here increased the fine of RM100 meted out to a youth to RM1,000, for violating the movement control order by leaving his house to carry his girlfriend’s body to a garage near her home after being involved in a road accident last year.

Judge Datuk Zainal Azman Ab Aziz made the ruling after allowing the prosecution’s appeal against the RM100 fine imposed on the 17-year-old by the Rompin Magistrate's Court on July 16 last year, after he pleaded guilty to violating the MCO by being outside the house at 3.15am on April 12 last year.
