SINGAPORE – Amid a heated scuffle between two groups, one man ran up behind another to throw a punch at the unsuspecting man’s face.
The force of the punch resulted in the man falling backwards and hitting his head on the ground – causing skull fractures and injuries.
The victim, Mr R. Dehven, 34, succumbed to his injuries around a week later and died in the hospital.
On Oct 13, Muhammad Amiruddin Sabtu, 27, was sentenced to a total of 36 months’ jail and disqualified from holding all classes of driving licences for two years, after pleading guilty to voluntarily causing hurt resulting in grievous hurt, driving without a valid licence, and cheating by impersonation.
The court heard that Amiruddin’s group and the victim’s group had been engaged in a heated argument for more than 15 minutes, after two women from the opposing groups first entered into a verbal altercation.
Both groups were drinking separately at a bar at Balestier Point from May 17, 2024, to the early hours of May 18, 2024.
