A chef was sentenced to three years’ jail with six whippings after he pleaded guilty to setting his employer’s café on fire.
Intermediate Court Judge Hajah Hazarena binti Pehin Orang Kaya Setia Jaya Dato Paduka Haji Hurairah while handing judgement on March 14 said Awangku Muhammad Hafiz Dzulfadly bin Pengiran Hassanal Ariffin’s action were aggravated for risking the building occupants’ safety even though no one was injured.
The court also took into account the BND16,000 damage to Boss Café despite the fire being put out by automatic water sprinklers before it spreads.
