Serial paedophile sentenced to 18 years' preventive detention

A serial paedophile, with convictions dating back to 1988, was sentenced to 18 years' preventive detention for performing fellatio on a 11-year-old boy.

Sikendar Sellamarican, 51, committed the offence barely two years after his release from prison in 2008 after serving a 20-year sentence for sodomising a 13-year-old boy in 1994.

District Judge Mathew Joseph said that Sikendar was a real danger to young boys and should be locked away for a long time.

Sentences for preventive detention - a harsher prison regime designed for repeat offenders that are a danger to society - could be from seven to 20 years with no remission for good behaviour.
