Verdun Road fatal fight: 3 men charged with rioting now accused of causing hurt with dangerous weapons

Meanwhile, the two women were offered bail of S$30,000 each and their cases were pushed to Oct 28.

If convicted of rioting while armed with a deadly weapon, an offender can be jailed for up to 10 years and caned.

If convicted of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon, a person can be jailed for up to seven years, fined, caned, or given any combination of these punishments. Women, however, cannot be caned.

The penalty for murder under Section 300(a), which Muhammad Sajid currently faces, is death.
