  "account": "A 33-year-old man, known as Doraemon, has been sentenced to two years in jail for allegedly wounding his uncle with a sickle. The incident occurred in Kuching due to a dispute over a borrowed scoop, for which the man had never returned the tool. According to the Dayak Daily, Doraemon arrived at his 47-year-old uncle's residence with the sickle around 2:15 pm on October 7. After discussing the matter, the man swung the blade at his uncle, causing injury to his right rib area. The victim was taken to the hospital, where he required nine stitches and later filed a police report. The two men had a long-standing relationship, having known each other since childhood and cohabiting as neighbors for years. The accused admitted guilt to one charge of voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon, and his criminal record included nine previous convictions for various offenses, including drug abuse, theft, gambling, mischief, and possession of scrap materials. The investigating officer, Logeswara Tharumalay, managed the case.",
