Mum, boyfriend charged with murdering 5-year-old
The two are accused of committing the offence at a house in Lintang Merak, Sungai Dua, on July 23.
In George Town, Penang, a 30-year-old foreign woman named Dina Hayati and her 34-year-old boyfriend, Sany, were charged in the magistrates' court on October 6 for the murder of their five-year-old son. The incident allegedly occurred on July 23 in the living room of a house in Lintang Merak, Sungai Dua. Dina and Sany appeared before Magistrate Noor Idayu Salim, who nodded as they acknowledged the charge.
However, no plea was entered because murder cases are handled by the High Court. The crime, under Section 302 of the Penal Code, is punishable by death or a sentence of 30 to 40 years in prison, along with at least 12 canings. Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Danial Amir Saad represented the prosecution, while both defendants were unrepresented.
