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.
The defendant accompanied the victim to the ATM when making cash withdrawals, and on one occasion recited his personal identification number (PIN) out loud.
