SIBU: A 21-year-old woman, who murdered her boyfriend's mother by hitting her with a crash helmet three years ago, was sentenced Friday to be hanged to death by the High Court here.
the prosecution had proven, beyond reasonable doubt, that Winnie Yek Leh Cheng had committed the offence.Yek was charged under Section 302 of the penal code, which carries a mandatory death sentence.
Yek then took her motorcycle helmet and started bashing Kuan who ran to the house of her neighbour, Su Muok Chii, 58.Yek chased Kuan into Su’s house and also tried to hit him, but he managed to evade her and avoid serious injury.
Yek then went back to Kuan’s house and attacked Kuan’s daughter Ting Mui Sing, 46, when she demanded to know why Yek had assaulted her mother.
Yek slashed Ting’s hands with a penknife and bashed her head, chest and leg with the helmet.
It was learnt that Yek had been scolded by her boyfriend the night before.
Kuan succumbed to injuries to her head and died at 11.17am on February 4 that year.
