Would you be tempted by a compensation offer of S$20,000 if the
guy who beat you up ran away?
That was how much New Zealander Robert Stephen Dahlberg, 35,
offered to Paul Louis Liew, 27, the victim from the Suntec City
brawl in April 2010, reported The New Paper.
However, Liew, a second-year law student studying in Australia
decided that taking the money would not be acceptable, especially
if it would affect the judicial process, the same paper
wrote.
Dahlberg, an options broker, had allegedly assaulted Liew on 11
April 2010. TNP reported that Liew, who is now suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder, fractured his nasal bone and
suffered a 4cm-long cut on his forehead as a result of the
incident. He was also the most seriously-injured of the four
victims in the attack.
Dahlberg went on bail for S$25,000 in July last year for trips to
London and Hong Kong. However, the Kiwi did not return and on 12
September, a warrant of arrest was issued. He's now on Interpol's
wanted persons list.
The police, who were the ones who notified Liew of Dahlberg's
compensation offer on 6 March, could not be reached for
comment.
