Former mobile phone shop employee Lim Yew Lung has been sentenced to 30 years in prison and 12 strokes of the cane for the fatal beating of a customer six years ago in Muar. Muar High Court judge Datuk Meor Hashimi Abdul Hamid ruled that the prosecution had proven their case beyond reasonable doubt after considering the arguments of both the defense and prosecution.
Lim, 32, was found guilty of murdering Tsun Chin Kiang, 43, during a confrontation in Jalan Perwira 1, Taman Perwira, between 1.41am and 4.15am on January 29, 2020. Tsun was injured during the fight and died four days later in hospital. The judge dismissed the defense's claims, stating that they did not raise any reasonable doubt against the prosecution's evidence.
Lim was represented by lawyer R K Balakrishnan, and the prosecution was handled by Deputy public prosecutor Othman Affan Ismail. The court ordered all evidence to be handed over to the police after the appeal period.
