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.
*back into the abyss of death*
