KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 — A construction worker who was previously charged with kidnapping a Palestinian man was sentenced to three years in prison by the High Court here today for abducting and confining the man at a chalet four years ago.
Judge Datuk Mohd Arief Emran Arifin imposed the sentence on Edy Ko’im Said, 46, after he pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of abducting and confining the Palestinian man.
The court ordered the father of three to begin serving his prison sentence today.
According to the alternative charge, Edy Ko’im was accused of forcibly abducting the 31-year-old victim with the intention of secretly and unlawfully confining him at Jalan Mayang, Dang Wangi, here, at 10.40 pm on Sept 28, 2022.
