A duo involved in an armed attack on a man will be walking free, after being discharged by the Intermediate Court yesterday.

The decision came after the defendants were forgiven by the victim.

Muhammad Nasrul Nizam @ Raimi bin Haji Rahim and Muhammad Hamizan @ Muhammad Hafis bin Kasim initially claimed trial to charges of attacking the 20-year-old victim with a kerambit and a knuckle knife, as well as charges of assaulting the victim at 3am on December 10, 2018 in the vicinity of Jalan Binglu, Tanah Jambu.

Muhammad Hamizan had hired lawyer Pengiran Khairul Nizam bin Pengiran Haji Md Yassin to fight his case in the upcoming trial.

However, the victim indicated to DPP Siti Aisyah binti Haji Lakim of his willingness to forgive the defendants, leading to the mention yesterday. Judge Radin Safiee bin Radin Mas Basiuni asked the victim to come forward and explain why he had changed his mind.

“I have come to symphatise with the defendants,” the victim said.

Judge Radin Safiee then exercised his powers and let the duo free.
