KOTA BARU: A labourer has pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here on Thursday (Sept 26) to a charge of causing hurt to his wife with an iron.
Mohd Nurhakiman Mohd Nasir, 35, was charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code, with voluntarily causing hurt to his wife by dangerous means at a house in Kampung Rambutan Rendang, Kota Baru at 7.30am on Monday (Sept 23).
He faces a jail term of 10 years, or a fine, or whipping and can be punished under Section 326A of the same Code which provides for a term of twice as long as the maximum term for which he would have been liable on conviction for that offence under the relevant section.
Deputy Prosecutor Kamarul Hasyime Rosli did not offer bail as the accused is still married to the victim and stay together in the same house.
Judge Zulkifli Abllah set Oct 29 for mention for the appointment of a lawyer and the submission of documents.
