SINGAPORE: After finishing his night shift at a food and beverage outlet, a man drank copious amounts of alcohol, assaulted his private-hire driver before getting into an argument with an old man.
Mohamed Serajudeen Mohamed Yusoff, a 33-year-old Singaporean, assaulted the 71-year-old victim and stomped forcefully on him when he fell to the ground.
The elderly man was taken to hospital, where he died 10 days later.
Serajudeen was sentenced on Thursday (Oct 8) to 15 years’ jail and 10 strokes of the cane.
He pleaded guilty to one count of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Three other charges for his aggressive behaviour towards other people that night were taken into consideration.
THE CASE
Serajudeen was an operations manager at a food and beverage establishment that was not named in court papers.
He ended a shift at about 10.30am on Nov 19, 2024 and drank alcohol in various rounds by himself and with friends.
He was heavily intoxicated, slurring and dozing off, and his friends asked him to return home to rest before his next shift.
They helped him book a private-hire vehicle, which he boarded at about 2.55pm at Block 123, Serangoon North Avenue 1.
Serajudeen became agitated and scolded the driver. He also vomited in the car.
The driver stopped the vehicle along Serangoon North Avenue 2 and told Serajudeen that he was cancelling the ride.
Serajudeen got out but continued arguing, cursing and opening the car doors. He also kicked the driver hard on his leg.
When the driver said he would call the police, Serajudeen said he would beat him if he did so.
