The teens are also not allowed to leave their house alone from 8pm to 6am unless accompanied by their parents and are required to attend a workshop run by the Department of Social Welfare (JKM).
According to the charge, the two teenage boys, aged 16 and still schooling, were accused of committing mischief by fire which caused the destruction of the public toilet of a futsal court in Phase 3 of Bandar Puncak Alam at 2.47pm on Aug 28, 2022.
The offence was committed under Section 436 of the Penal Code which provides for a prison sentence of up to 20 years and a fine.
Accidental death
Earlier in the proceedings, the JKM representative also submitted a moral report of the two accused in addition to submitting two recommendations including good behaviour.
Two public advisers also gave a statement in the court gallery reprimanding the actions of the teens who destroyed public property and affected the family (by causing the death) of the late male teenage victim (Muhammad Damin Mikhail Kansol).
Deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Afiq Qiwamuddin Mustapha Shakri also asked for appropriate punishment to be imposed on the two accused because the incident involved public interest.
Also present in the proceedings was the legal observer lawyer Johan Ariff Salim Khan representing the victim’s family. Both accused were not represented by lawyers throughout the proceedings.
