  "account": "An Indonesian man was sentenced to 13 years in prison by the High Court in Tawau for causing the death of his daughter's alleged rapist. The 30-year-old father pleaded guilty to the alternative charge under Section 304(a) of the Penal Code before his sentencing. He had been initially charged under Section 302 of the same law. The court imposed the sentence to take effect from the date of his arrest on September 2, 2024, and will also order his deportation after serving his time. According to the prosecution, the incident occurred when the accused's 12-year-old daughter confided to her mother that she had been raped by the 33-year-old victim during a social gathering on the night of the incident. Taking a parang, the accused searched for the victim, chased him to a nearby chicken coop, and slashed him multiple times. Medical examination at Tawau Hospital revealed fresh tears to the private parts of the girl, and DNA analysis confirmed the victim's DNA on her fingernail clippings and underwear. Police seized the parang from the accused during his arrest.",
