A Myanmar national who was alleged to have tried, with three others, to kidnap and kill a countryman was given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNATA) by a district judge yesterday.
Yae Wynnt Oaung, a 33-year-old trader, was set free after being in remand since June 24 for abetting a conspiracy to commit murder.
He was also given a six-week jail term for driving offences, which was backdated to his remand.
Oaung was said to have schemed with Phyo Min Naing, 31; Zaw Min Hlaing, 37; and Kyaw Kyaw Aung alias Aung Aung, 29; to abduct Mr Aye Maung Maung Thet, 29, from a multi-storey car park in Pasir Ris Street 71 on June 20 and take him to a Changi chalet in order to kill him.
Two of the men were alleged to have tasered the victim in the bid to abduct him, but they bolted after his cries for help attracted passers-by. Aung Aung fled the country days later and is still at large. (Courtesy of The Straits Times News)
