  "account": "In Tawau, Malaysia, a 30-year-old man was recently sentenced to 13 years in prison for causing the death of his 12-year-old daughter's rapist. The incident occurred on August 31, 2024, when the young girl informed her mother about the rape taking place while they were returning from a social gathering. The father, determined to seek justice, went in search of the alleged rapist with a parang (daggers) and confronted him in a chicken coop, resulting in several slashes to the rapist's body. Tragically, the 33-year-old rapist succumbed to his injuries sometime between 7:30 PM on the same day and 12 PM the following day.\n\nThe girl's condition was also severely affected, as a hospital examination revealed fresh tears in her private parts. The rapist's identity was confirmed through DNA analysis, as the DNA found on the girl's fingernail clippings matched the semen found on her underwear. Following his arrest on September 2, 2024, the father had initially been charged with murder but the charge was later changed to culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The court's decision took effect from his arrest date, September 2, 2024, and he will serve his sentence concurrently with a requirement to be referred to the Immigration Department upon completion of his incarceration. The maximum sentence he could have received for his offense was a 30-year prison term and a fine.",
