KUCHING, Oct 16: A long-simmering quarrel over a borrowed scoop ended with a 33-year-old man, known to many as ‘Doraemon’, being sent to prison for two years after he wounded his uncle with a sickle.
The Sessions Court heard that the Kampung Bintawa man had borrowed the tool from his relative but never returned it, a matter that had festered between them for some time.
On October 7, at about 2.15pm, the 47-year-old victim was at his house in Kampung Bintawa Ulu when the accused arrived carrying a sickle and spoke to him. Without warning, the accused swung the blade at him, and the two grappled. The victim was left with a bleeding wound on his right rib area.
He was rushed to hospital, where doctors closed the wound with nine stitches, and he later lodged a police report.
