The Magistrate’s Court recently sentenced a carer to two years’ jail for stealing from a 70-year-old client.

 

Senior Magistrate Harnita Zelda Skinner heard from Prosecutor Ruzana Adnan that 22-year-old local Muhammad Hafiz bin Matsalleh, who worked with a firm offering caretaking services, had taken advantage of a client. The prosecution also revealed that the client had suffered from a stroke and hired the company’s services which assigned the defendant.
