He was offered sex for cash while chatting with a woman on Facebook.
But once the 42-year-old man got undressed in her flat, the woman’s husband stormed into the bedroom with a kris, threatening to stab him and report him for rape.
All this was a ruse hatched by Shahberin Soet, 45, and his wife Siti Khairianti Mohd Taib, 41, to extort money from the man, who was made to hand over $70 and write an IOU for $400.
Pleading guilty to robbery by night and two unrelated theft charges, Shahberin was yesterday jailed for three years and 10 months and given 12 strokes of the cane. Two other charges were taken into consideration.
District Judge Christopher Tan also gave Shahberin an enhanced sentence of 115 days’ jail as he committed the robbery while out on a remission order.
Siti first befriended the victim, who cannot be named to protect his identity, on Facebook on May 4, 2017.
She asked Shahberin to use a kris in their home to scare the victim, who went to their flat at about 1.30am the next day.
Shahberin hid in the kitchen toilet while Siti led the man to the bedroom and told him to undress.
