Former air steward, two Nepal nationals get life in prison for kidnapping
By NURBAITI HAMDAN

SHAH ALAM: Three men, including a former air steward, were sentenced to life in prison by a High Court here after they pleaded guilty to abducting a security company CEO two years ago.

C. Rudhra, 39, and Nepal nationals R. Roshan, 32, and T. Ramesh, 30, escaped the death penalty when Justice Abdul Alim Abdullah handed down a lifetime imprisonment sentence instead.

"The victim was not injured. The gold (ransom) has been recovered and returned to the victim's family," said the judge prior to sentencing on Friday.

The men admitted to abducting A. Kanapathy, 66, at an alley next to Kedai Makanan Laut Pulau Ketam, Persiaran Raja Muda Musa, Port Klang in Klang at about 11.30am on March 7, 2011, with intention to obtain a ransom of 10kg in gold.

They were first charged at a Klang Magistrate's Court on March 22, 2011, and the case was subsequently transferred to the High Court.

The higher court then ruled there was a prima facie case against the men and ordered them to enter their defence where they gave statements from the dock.

However, they changed their plea and admitted guilt before the defence closed its case.

They apologised to the court for the crime, during mitigation.

In their statements during the trial, the court was told that Rudhra quit his job at a local airline company in 2011 before opening his security business.

Prior to the crime, Rudhra had hired Roshan to train four guard dogs while Ramesh worked at an eatery.

The court also heard that the victim was walking from a carpark to his office at Strikeforce Security Sdn Bhd when he was tasered by a man and bundled into a car.

One of the victim's family members threw a bag filled with gold over a bridge during the ransom drop-off.

The victim was released with his head covered and hands tied.

He managed to untie his hands and sought help at a petrol station.

A team of policemen captured the three men two days after the incident.

Rudhra was represented by lawyers Haresh Mahadevan and Ramzani Idris. Roshan was represented by lawyer Jayamurugan Vadivelu while Ramesh was represented by K. A. Ramu.

DPP Harris Ong Mohd Jeffrey Ong prosecuted.

TODAY at 12.45pm, one of our female Student was "kidnapped" by an young Indian man driving a new silver-color Proton Saga at the side lane going from Jalan SS15/6A to Taylor's Campus.

Luckily she managed to jump out of the kidnapper's car at the traffic lights near Subang Medical Center.

Even though she is badly injured from jumping out of the car, she is grateful that she may have escaped a more horrible fate. We have sent her back to the Hostel, and she feels ok and not traumatic at all.

We thank The Almighty for helping her to overcome this unfortunate event and walk away alive. Amen.

Moral: PLEASE do not walk alone, especially on those quiet roads and quiet weekend days and public holidays.

Damansara Damai
Attempted Kidnapping

shared by Ain Qaseh

Perhatian, ingin saya berkongsi di sini tentang kes culik di sekitar Damansara Damai. Adik perempuan saya berumur 13 tahun hampir diculik sebentar tadi oleh pengguna van bersama 3 o

rang di dalamnya. Kejadian berlaku berdekatan jalan keluar Saujana Damansara (area Restoran Mizi Seafood).

Mereka bertanyakan jalan, dan adik saya 'buat tak tau' dan teruskan berjalan. oleh kerana 'tak dilayan' penculik terus menarik tangan beliau, syukur kerana berjaya melepaskan diri dan lari sekuat hati untuk selamatkan diri.

Setiap hari menggunakan jalan tersebut untuk ke sekolah dengan berjalan kaki. Mohon para penduduk, jawatankuasa dan pihak polis dapat mengambil berat isu ini demi keselamatan semua.
