KUCHING, Oct 6: A 54-year-old unemployed man who threatened to kill his own brother while wielding a parang was sentenced today to one week’s imprisonment and fined RM5,000 by the Magistrate’s Court.
Erik Maang Dring pleaded guilty as soon as the charge was read out. Magistrate Nureina Syafika Mohd Najib ruled that he must serve a further two months behind bars if he fails to pay the fine.
The incident occurred at around 9.30am on Oct 4 in Kampung Sarig, Jalan Padawan.
The court heard that the 41-year-old victim had approached Erik after finding flower clippings and other rubbish dumped beneath his house.
