Magistrate Anis Zainab Pawan Teh meted out the sentence on Wan Abd Qayyum Wan Radzuan, 25, after he pleaded guilty.

He was charged with defaming Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar, who was killed in the incident, in a post on Facebook made with the intention of annoying others.

The post was read by Azhar Khaiden, 55, the father of the deceased, at SK Felda Sungai Klah, Sungkai, at 2pm on Aug 28.

Qayyum was charged under Section 500 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of two years or a fine, or both, upon conviction.

Deputy public prosecutor Noor Nabila Norzam appeared for the prosecution, while lawyer Amani Williams-Hunt from the National Legal Aid Foundation represented the accused.

On May 17, Ahmad Azza Fahmi, 22, and Syafiq Ahmad Said, 24, were killed during an attack on the Ulu Tiram police station by a 21-year-old man armed with a gun and a parang.

Another police officer, Hasif Roslan, 38, was injured after he was shot in the shoulder and hip.
