A couple was inspired to commit crimes by a TV show produced to, ironically, serve as a warning to people from doing so.
An episode of Crimewatch focusing on Carousell scammers inadvertently motivated Muhammad Haadii Asmadi and his fiancee Sushilawati Selamat, both 30, to go on a crime spree of conning people on the popular online marketplace.
Haadii has since been sentenced to 10 months in prison on Monday (May 18) after pleading guilty to cheating and abetting by conspiracy, according to a court report by the news website Today. As for Sushilawati, she was earlier sentenced to eight months in jail.
Together, they managed to swindle over 30 victims out of their money, accumulating nearly $10,000. Their entire loot has been spent on personal expenses, including hotel stays and food.
