JOHOR BARU: The youth who pleaded guilty at the Sessions Court last week to setting a dog on fire will be caned lightly seven times in open court as part of his punishment.
This comes after Sessions judge Datuk Che Wan Zaidi Che Wan Ibrahim made the decision against 18-year-old Braden Yap Hong Sheng here yesterday.Earlier, lawyer G. K. Sritharan, who represented Yap, argued that his client had acted in such a way after being attacked by the dog more than five times.
