A woman was sentenced to a day's jail and fined RM200, in default five days' jail, for stealing a packet of Milo for her two-year-old child at a supermarket in Kuala Lumpur.

Magistrate Husna Dzulkifly handed down the sentence on S Sellamah, 36, who pleaded guilty to the charge.

She was charged with stealing the 2kg packet of Milo at the KK Supermart & Superstore, Jalan Hang Lekir, Dang Wangi in Kuala Lumpur at 11.19pm last Feb 29.

"Forgive me Madam Magistrate. I stole the Milo because my two-year-old child was nagging me for the drink," said the housewife during mitigation.

Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Zikri Jaafar prosecuted.
