Divorcee jailed for robbing businessman

KUALA LUMPUR: A man's search for a hotel room ended up with him being robbed by a woman and two men.

While businessman R. Sivapathi, 50, was in Lorong Haji Taib 1 here looking for a hotel room, a woman called him and offered him a room.

The woman led him to a budget hotel and when he stepped into the hotel, two men suddenly closed the grille door.

The two men and the woman then asked Sivapathi to surrender his valuables. After giving them RM220, Sivapathi was released.

Yesterday, the woman, K. Parameswary, 45, was sentenced to four years' jail after she pleaded guilty to robbing Sivapathi with two others still at large of RM220 at the hotel next to a lottery shop in Lorong Haji Taib 1 at 3.50am on Feb 28.
Parameswary, who is a mother of three, said in mitigation that she had no intention to rob Sivapathi.

"I need extra money for my children.

"I am a divorcee and my salary as a shop assistant is only RM350 a month."

Judge Zainal Abidin Kamarudin said as a mother, Parameswary should show a good example to her children.

"I pity your children. Who will give them food and pocket money for school now because you have to go to jail?

"You should have thought about them before doing anything," he said.

Deputy public prosecutor Lee Keng Fatt submitted that based on the facts, the robbery was planned by the accused with two other accomplices.
