During mitigation, Freymicky asked for leniency saying that he was remorseful and had admitted to the charge against him. He also informed the court that he has another case for drugs.

However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Suriyati Jumain urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence on the grounds that it was a serious offence as Freymicky had used a weapon while committing the offence.

The court heard that the incident occured while the victim was working at the outlet when two unknown men came and one of them, later identified as Freymicky, pointed a knife towards him.

Freymicky and his co-accused then took cash before fleeing the scene.

Following a police report, they were arrested.
