Singapore jails man who deformed father-in-law’s face in ‘unprovoked’ assault
The victim sustained severe injuries in the attack that left him with permanent facial damage and impaired vision
A man who viciously assaulted his father-in-law in Singapore, leaving him with permanent facial damage and the need for a titanium implant in his left eye socket for the rest of his life, was given jail on Wednesday.
Muhammad Fida’iy Mohamad Fauzi, 26, was sentenced to 18 months in prison and six strokes of the cane.
The sentence was in line with what the prosecution had sought after it noted that Fida’iy had perpetrated the attack against a victim more than twice his age.
The 58-year-old victim sustained extensive injuries to his face, including a deformed nose, and lasting effects on his vision and sense of smell.
Fida’iy pleaded guilty to one count of causing grievous hurt to the victim.
On June 21 last year, the victim met Fida’iy at the latter’s request at a fast food outlet at Loyang Point at around 9pm.
