Two Sarawakian men who were convicted of a brutal crime spree at Kallang back in 2010 have been sentenced in court today — one of them will hang while the other will be in prison for the rest of his life.
26-year-old Michael Garing and 36-year-old Tony Imba were part of a four-men gang that went on a rampage five years ago, causing the death of an Indian construction worker, and leaving two other Indian nationals and one Singaporean severely injured.
The gang had attacked and robbed their four victims in the Kallang Area late at night until the early hours of the next day, The Straits Times reports. 41-year-old construction worker Shanmuganathan Dillidurai died a violent death, with fractured skull, a severed left hand, a slash wound across his neck and a deep back wound that left a cracked shoulder blade.
Evidence had shown that it was Michael who struck the dead man, and was given the death sentence — and is believed to file appeal against it. Tony will be serving life in prison.
Another accomplice — 22-year-old Hairee Landak — was earlier sentenced to 33 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane for armed robbery with grievous hurt. The fourth accomplice — 23-year-old Donny Meluda — is still at large.
