DUO ON TRIAL FOR CRIME SPREE
JUST a day before he turns 28, today, he will be in the dock to face charges of rape and robbery.
Mohamed Fadzli Abdul Rahim, a Singaporean, and Mohamad Norhazri Mohd Faudzi, 21, a Malaysian, are alleged to have been part of a group which lured prostitutes to quiet locations before attacking them.
The duo face a total of 11 charges relating to three victims, all Chinese nationals.
Their joint trial - set for 10 days - is scheduled to start today.
They are accused of attacking the first woman, who is in her 20s, on 1 Apr last year at 5am in Geylang.
Mohamed Fadzli allegedly raped her and forced her to perform oral sex on him, according to court documents.
Mohamad Norhazri has been charged with abetting him in committing the rape.
The other accomplices allegedly robbed the prostitute as well, and for that, they face a charge of gang robbery.
The woman is said to have lost a handphone worth $420, her passport and a plane ticket, $360 in cash and jewellery worth $1,060.
Mohamed Fadzli and Mohamad Norhazri are accused of attacking another prostitute a fortnight later, around midnight on 16 Apr.
The duo and another man allegedly robbed her of a $60 handbag, a handphone that cost $400 and $60 in cash at Jalan Sam Kongsi, off TampinesRoad.
She was not sexually assaulted.
Four months later, on 12 Aug, they allegedly struck again at Jalan Sam Kongsi.
Mohamed Fadzli is accused of raping the third woman, who is in her 30s, between 3am and 5am. Mohamad Norhazri has been charged with abetting him.
They and another man also allegedly robbed her of her handbag containing her passport, a plane ticket and $600 in cash.
At least one of them is alleged to have hit her during the attack, according to court documents.
Mohamed Fadzli is said to have voluntarily caused hurt to the women in order to rape them.
This means that if he is convicted, he will be sentenced to at least 8 years' jail and caned at least 12 strokes for each charge. The maximum penalty is 20 years' jail.
If convicted of abetting him, Mohamad Norhazri faces the same punishment.
For gang robbery, they can be jailed up to 20 years and caned at least 12 strokes.
Two of their alleged accomplices have been dealt with. They were sentenced to reformative training while a third man was given probation. The last person, a Malaysian, is still at large.
Mohamed Fadzli is represented by Mr Subhas Anandan and Mr Sunil Sudheesan. Mohamad Norhazri's lawyer is Mr S S Dhillon.
