BATU PAHAT: A former butcher was sentenced to two months in jail by the magistrate's court here today for criminally intimidating his younger brother.

Magistrate Arun Noval Dass handed down the sentence after Muhamad Taufiq Azizi Kamarul Nizam, 26, pleaded guilty to threatening his 18-year-old brother with the words "jangan sampai aku rodok kau" (don't make me stab you) during a dispute at their family home in Peserai on Monday.

The court considered his guilty plea before convicting and sentencing him under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, which carries a maximum jail term of seven years, a fine or both.
