KUCHING: A 64-year-old bomoh who raped three sisters to “cure their sickness and restore their virginity” managed to get a reduction in his 69-year jail sentence after an appeal in the High Court here.
Justice Rhodzariah Bujang agreed to reduce the term to 40 years, taking into consideration Jamir @ Jawang Samah’s age.
But, the 12 strokes of rotan stays.
“The offence is serious. The caning sentence stays but in view of the accused’s age, and given that the total sentence is 69 years, I therefore reduce each sentence to 10 years,” said Justice Rhodzariah yesterday.
She ordered the sentences to run consecutively so Jamir has to serve 40 years in total.
The 16-year-old victim was first raped in February when she sought “health, beauty and a nice voice” from the bomoh.
After a few sessions, the girl brought her younger sisters, aged 13 and 14, for “treatment to restore their virginity and tighten their private parts”.
The matter came to light after the 14-year-old told her friend about the rape and the friend’s family urged her to lodge a police report.
Jamir denied the allegation when he was arrested on March 7, but changed his plea after the three victims testified in court.
Despite the accused’s mitigation of old age and bad health, Sessions Court judge Timothy Finlayson Joel ruled there was no exemption on caning under Section 376 (1) of the Penal Code for raping underage girls.
The bomoh was sentenced to 16 years’ jail and 17 years’ jail respectively for two counts of raping the first victim; 18 years’ jail each for raping the other two victims, and three strokes of the rotan for each of the four charges
Did his age or health matter to him when he committed those acts? No. So why should it matter now?
And as for the little idiots who went to him - Bodohnye kauuu!
This whole case is friggin ridiculous, seriously.
