Only one member of a teenage gang which brutally bashed up an Ind-ian student and blinded him in one eye was on Wedne-sday given a suspended jail term with community work, while others escaped custodial sentences.
County court Judge Susan Cohen handed down the sentence, saying accused Majang Ngor had worked hard since the incident to distance himself from a bad crowd and reform himself, the Herald Sun newspaper reported. Ms Cohen impo-sed an eight-month jail term suspended for 15 months and a community service order, with 40 hours of work for Ngor, who is now 20, saying the community would benefit most from his rehabilitation. —PTI
