A 47-year-old Malaysian Indian, extradited from Malaysia was today sentenced to 18 months in jail by a Singapore court for stabbing a compatriot three times in 2006.
Charles Issac Santhianathan, a security guard stabbed his colleague Rajan Arumugam in the back on June 7, 2006, in what District Judge Victor Yeo today called it as a "wholly disproportionate" act.
The court heard that Charles had angrily confronted Rajan, at an international school for speaking about him behind his back to his wife and supervisor.
During the fist fight that followed, Charles picked up a 15cm-blade knife and committed the offence after Rajan ignored his threats and tried to walk away. Court documents did not specify how the blade came to be on the table.
