How many times did the pair engage in illicit acts in the mortuary?

Question

Accepted Answer

The pair engaged in illicit sexual acts on multiple occasions in the mortuary room.

The former mosque caretaker and cleaner admitted to committing illicit sexual acts within the mortuary room of Masjid Al-Ibadah in Kampung Bukit Piatu on multiple occasions. These acts occurred between January and April. The prosecution opted to bring a single charge against each individual due to the available evidence.
Acts Committed Between January and April
The court heard that the illicit sexual encounters took place over a period spanning from January to April. While the precise frequency of these acts was not detailed, the acknowledgement of "multiple occasions" indicates a repeated pattern of behaviour within the mortuary space.
Location Within Sacred Grounds
The specified offence occurred in a room designated for the final cleansing of the deceased before burial, situated within the mosque's grounds. The judge emphasised the sacred nature of this location, noting that the mortuary, despite being separate from the main prayer hall, is still considered hallowed ground.
Legal Proceedings and Sentencing
The pair pleaded guilty to the charges and were subsequently fined RM5,000 each, with an alternative of 18 months' imprisonment if the fine was not paid. They were charged under Section 52 of the Syariah Offences Enactment (State of Melaka) 1991.
