SINGAPORE: After finishing his night shift at a food and beverage outlet, a man drank copious amounts of alcohol, assaulted his private-hire driver before getting into an argument with an old man.
Mohamed Serajudeen Mohamed Yusoff, a 33-year-old Singaporean, assaulted the 71-year-old victim and stomped forcefully on him when he fell to the ground.
The elderly man was taken to hospital, where he died 10 days later.
Serajudeen was sentenced on Thursday (Oct 8) to 15 years' jail and 10 strokes of the cane.
He pleaded guilty to one count of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Three other charges for his aggressive behaviour towards other people that night were taken into consideration.
Serajudeen was an operations manager at a food and beverage establishment that was not named in court papers.
He ended a shift at about 10.30am on Nov 19, 2024 and drank alcohol in various rounds by himself and with friends.
He was heavily intoxicated, slurring and dozing off, and his friends asked him to return home to rest before his next shift.
They helped him book a private-hire vehicle, which he boarded at about 2.55pm at Block 123, Serangoon North Avenue 1.
Serajudeen became agitated and scolded the driver. He also vomited in the car.
The driver stopped the vehicle along Serangoon North Avenue 2 and told Serajudeen that he was cancelling the ride.
Serajudeen got out but continued arguing, cursing and opening the car doors. He also kicked the driver hard on his leg.
When the driver said he would call the police, Serajudeen said he would beat him if he did so.
Serajudeen then walked away towards the shops at Block 151, Serangoon North Avenue 2.
He loitered aimlessly about the corridor for about half an hour, walking unsteadily and ended up outside a supermarket.
The victim, Mr Andrews John, made physical contact with Serajudeen outside the supermarket.
He stopped and turned around to speak to Serajudeen, but this escalated into an argument.
They moved to the back alley of the block to continue their argument.
While the victim was gesticulating in Serajudeen's face, Serajudeen suddenly punched his head.
He also pushed the man backwards and continued punching him, causing the victim to fall backwards onto the concrete.
Serajudeen rained punches on the victim as he lay there, causing his head to hit the ground repeatedly.
He then stomped forcefully on the old man's upper body about eight times before walking away.
The victim lay motionless on the ground and a passerby called the police.
Meanwhile, Serajudeen threatened a passerby: "You want to find trouble with me? You want to die? You want to die!"
He was arrested the next day on Nov 20, 2024.
The victim suffered a severe head injury with bleeding in the brain and extensive bruising. Despite medical intervention, he died on Nov 29, 2024.
Serajudeen was assessed at the Institute of Mental Health and found to have alcohol use disorder.
However, his actions were goal-directed at the time and he was not of unsound mind.
The prosecution sought at least 15 years' jail and 10 strokes of the cane, saying this was the "epitome of senseless violence".
"They were strangers whose paths had crossed just moments earlier," said Deputy Public Prosecutors Tay Jia En and Cheronne Lim.
They added that Serajudeen has a long history of violence-related convictions dating back to 2017. In particular, he committed them while voluntarily intoxicated.
Defence lawyer Quek Liuyong from IRB Law sought nine years and nine months' jail with five strokes of the cane.
"The accused wishes to say that he is very sorry for causing a loss of life," said Mr Quek.
"He understands that nothing he can do will bring the deceased back to life. However, he wishes to emphasise to the honourable court that he never intended to cause the loss of life and he will live to regret his action for the rest of his life."
He said his client worked in prata chain Srisun Express since 2016 and was promoted to operations manager after eight-and-a-half years.
He was the main person supporting his parents by 2023, as all his other siblings had moved out by then.
Mr Quek said his client "vows that he would never ever touch alcohol again".
For culpable homicide not amounting to murder, an offender can be jailed for life, or for up to 20 years' jail and a fine or caning.

新加坡：一名男子在一家餐饮店上完夜班后，大量饮酒，殴打了他的网约车司机，然后又与一名老人发生争执。
33岁的新加坡人穆罕默德·塞拉朱丁·穆罕默德·尤索夫袭击了71岁的受害者，并在受害者倒地后用力踩踏他。
这位老人被送往医院，10天后去世。
塞拉朱丁于周四（10 月 8 日）被判处 15 年监禁和 10 下鞭刑。
他承认犯有过失杀人罪（不构成谋杀）。当晚他对他人表现出的攻击性行为所致的另外三项指控也被纳入考虑范围。
Serajudeen 是一家餐饮企业的运营经理，该企业的名称未在法庭文件中提及。
2024年11月19日上午10点30分左右，他结束了一天的工作，之后独自一人或与朋友们分多次饮酒。
他当时醉得很厉害，说话含糊不清，昏昏欲睡，朋友们劝他回家休息，为下一班做准备。
他们帮他预订了一辆私人出租车，他于下午 2 点 55 分左右在实龙岗北 1 道第 123 座上了车。
塞拉朱丁情绪激动，斥责了司机，并在车里呕吐。
司机在实龙岗北2道停车，并告诉塞拉朱丁他要取消行程。
塞拉朱丁下了车，但仍然继续争吵、咒骂，并打开车门。他还狠狠地踢了司机的腿。
当司机说他要报警时，塞拉朱丁说如果他报警，他就要揍他。
然后，塞拉朱丁走向实龙岗北2道151座的商店。
他在走廊里漫无目的地徘徊了大约半个小时，走路摇摇晃晃，最后走到了一家超市外面。
受害者安德鲁斯·约翰先生在超市外与塞拉朱丁发生了肢体接触。
他停下脚步，转身想和塞拉朱丁说话，结果却演变成了一场争吵。
他们转移到街区的后巷继续争论。
当受害者对着塞拉朱丁的脸做手势时，塞拉朱丁突然一拳打在他的头上。
他还把那名男子推倒在地，并继续殴打他，导致受害者向后摔倒在水泥地上。
塞拉朱丁对着躺在地上的受害者猛击拳头，导致他的头部反复撞击地面。
然后他用力踩踏老人的上半身约八次，之后便走开了。
受害者一动不动地躺在地上，一名路人拨打了报警电话。
与此同时，塞拉朱丁威胁一名路人：“你想找我麻烦？你想死吗？你想死吗！”
他于第二天，即 2024 年 11 月 20 日被捕。
受害者头部遭受重创，脑出血，并有多处瘀伤。尽管接受了医疗救治，他还是于2024年11月29日去世。
Serajudeen在精神健康研究所接受了评估，结果发现她患有酒精使用障碍。
然而，他当时的行为是有目的的，而且他的精神状态并没有失常。
检方要求判处至少 15 年监禁和 10 下鞭刑，称这是“毫无意义的暴力的缩影”。
“他们是素不相识的人，只是在几分钟前才偶然相遇，”副检察官郑嘉恩和林雪莲说道。
他们补充说，塞拉朱丁有很长的暴力犯罪记录，最早可追溯到 2017 年。尤其值得注意的是，他是在自愿醉酒的情况下犯下这些罪行的。
来自 IRB 律师事务所的辩护律师郭柳永请求判处九年零九个月监禁，并处以五下鞭刑。
郭先生说：“被告人想表达他对造成人员伤亡深感抱歉。”
“他明白自己做什么都无法让死者复生。但是，他想向尊敬的法庭强调，他绝无意造成他人死亡，他将终生为自己的行为感到悔恨。”
他说，他的客户自 2016 年起在印度煎饼连锁店 Srisun Express 工作，并在八年半后晋升为运营经理。
到 2023 年，他成了父母的主要经济支柱，因为他的其他兄弟姐妹都已经搬出去住了。
郭先生说他的委托人“发誓他永远不会再碰酒精了”。
对于过失杀人但未构成谋杀的罪行，罪犯可被判处终身监禁，或被判处最高 20 年监禁并处罚金或鞭刑。
