Rompak bersenjata, 5 remaja dihantar Sekolah Henry Gurney

In Sarawak, the Kuching Sessions Court has ordered five teenage boys to attend the Henry Gurney School following their guilty pleas to a group shooting incident at a 24-hour shop. Judge Noorhisham Jaafar issued the order after reviewing social reports and behavior provided by the Welfare Department, as reported by Dayak Daily. Of the two 18-year-olds, both were instructed to stay at the school until they reach 21.

The three aged between 14 and 15 were ordered to be detained for five years. They admitted to the charge under Section 395 of the Penal Code, combined with Section 397, which pertains to group violence involving the use of weapons. According to the case facts, they were accompanied by another juvenile accomplice who is at large, who attacked a 19-year-old shop worker with an axe and a machete around 4am on June 1 at a 24-hour shop in Tun Jugah Road.

The victim reported the assailant strangling him and forcing him to hand over RM1,000 cash and cigarettes before fleeing. The juveniles also damaged the shop's closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera and cash register. Police arrested them on July 31. Deputy Public Prosecutor Adriana Maisarah Farid led the prosecution, while all juveniles were represented by counsel.
