How long did the victim stay with the accused before his death?

Question

Accepted Answer

The victim stayed with the accused for approximately two days before his death, during which time his injuries became infected.

The victim, an e-hailing driver, was brought into the accused's house on June 22 and died on June 22. A post-mortem examination on June 23 revealed that the cause of death was infected wounds and bacterial infection in body tissues. The accused had been aware of the victim's presence outside his house for several days prior to bringing him inside.
Victim's Presence at the Accused's Residence

The victim had been sleeping in a car parked in front of the accused's house from June 14 to June 20. This period indicates the accused was aware of the victim's situation for at least six days before taking him into the house.
Period of Care and Fatal Infection

On June 22, the accused brought the victim into his home and placed him in the living room. However, no medical treatment was sought for the victim during this time. The victim subsequently died on the same day he was brought into the house, with the post-mortem identifying infected wounds as the cause of death.
Accused's Negligence and Sentencing

The accused, identified as a 37-year-old trader, admitted to negligently failing to seek medical treatment for his severely injured friend. This failure to act endangered the victim's life. He was sentenced to a RM500 fine, with an alternative of one month's jail time if the fine is not paid.
