SINGAPORE — After a night of drinking, Sumanthiran Selvarajoo was making his way home when he saw a man in his 60s praying in a park in Ang Mo Kio.

This inexplicably angered the then 18-year-old who punched Mr Loo Nam Sheng repeatedly in the face until he collapsed and died.

On Tuesday (March 1), the High Court sentenced Sumanthiran, now 23, to 16 years’ jail and 12 strokes of the cane for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and three other charges of voluntarily causing hurt or causing grievous hurt.

In delivering his decision, Justice Woo Bih Li said Sumanthiran was an “unusual person ... (with a) violent temperament” and that his “risk of future violence” remains. The court heard that Sumanthiran had a history of assault offences and was out on bail when he attacked Mr Loo, 64.

Justice Woo also said: “I noted that you surrender yourself and took into account your young age and that you have some promise of a brighter future.”

On June 4, 2011, Sumanthiran, who had been out drinking for hours, was walking home along a park in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 sometime after 5am. He was angry that his eldest brother had tried to contact him that night to check on him — one of Sumanthiran’s bail conditions was that he was to stay indoors from 6pm to 7am.

When he saw Mr Loo chanting Buddhist prayers in the park, Sumanthiran attacked the victim and challenged him to make Buddha appear before them. He also used an umbrella that he found nearby to strike Mr Loo on his shin. Sumanthiran later called the cops.

On Tuesday, Deputy Public Prosecutor Ang Feng Qian urged the court to impose a total sentence of between 18 and 19 years’ jail and 12 strokes of the cane.

Noting Sumanthiran’s string of offences in five months in 2010, including slashing victims with a parang and breadknife, punching and kicking victims, the prosecutor said: “Given the accused’s risk of future violence and the accused’s past history of reoffending and escalation of violence culminating in an innocent person’s death, it would be necessary to keep the accused out of circulation for a substantial period of time for the protection of the public.”

In mitigation, defence lawyer Sunil Sudheesan said his client had had a “bad year” after failing to make it to the Youth Olympics Games team — he was in contention to join the national track and field team.

Arguing for a total sentence of around 10 years’ jail, the lawyer added that Sumanthiran is a changed person who is willing to undergo alcohol addiction counselling after he is released.
