He was involved in two separate vicious attacks, where he used a knife and a knuckle duster with an attached knife to attack several victims. While out on bail for one of his attacks, he committed armed robbery against an elderly man.
For his offences, Muhammad Muhaimin Kasim, 25, was sentenced to 11 years and six months’ jail and 20 strokes of the cane on Wednesday (11 July).
Muhaimin pleaded guilty in the State Courts to three charges on 27 March: rioting with a deadly weapon, voluntarily causing grievous hurt with a weapon, and voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery.
Court documents show that Muhaimin was out drinking with four friends in Postbar, at 3 Sentosa Gateway, when M Visnukanth, 19, bumped into a member of Muhaimin’s group on 11 June 2016 and a dispute arose.
After leaving the club a while later, Visnukanth was attacked by the group. He was stabbed once with a knife and left lying on the ground.
At this time, a bystander, Divagaran Kesavan, 18, was coming out of the club when he was suddenly pushed and punched by one of Muhaimin’s friends. Muhaimin then stabbed Divagaran twice on the chest with a knife.
Another bystander, Jamal Razeen Abdul Ghani, 18, was smoking outside the club when the fight was ongoing. Jamal was then assaulted by a club bouncer.
Jamal’s acquaintance, Prasad Krishnan, 19, happened to be smoking nearby. Prasad rushed forward to help Jamal but some members of Muhaimin’s group attacked him, leaving him with deep wounds on the mouth and shoulder. Prasad’s wife pulled him to safety and the couple fled.
The group then turned their attention to Jamal. Muhaimin slashed him on the back and head in the ensuing attack. Jamal suffered from a cut on his upper back and a degloving of the top of his head.
