0

KLANG: The magistrate’s court here yesterday sentenced a former police constable to three years’ jail for disposing off a
stolen motorcycle 10 years ago.

Magistrate Afifah Mamat alias Yusof handed down the sentence after Zainuddin Rahmat, 32, failed to raise a reasonable doubt in the prosecution’s case.

Afifah ordered Zainuddin to serve the sentence from today and dismissed an application for a stay of execution pending appeal to the High Court.

Zainuddin, who has six children, was charged with disposing off the Honda C100 motorcycle valued at RM2,500 belonging to Mohamad Man by selling it for RM300 to Azlan Ariffin, 26, when he knew it was a stolen machine.

He was accused of committing the offence outside a house in Jalan Raja Abdul Rahman,
Taman Kapar, Kapar, near here in August 2001. — Bernama
