Bekas polis didenda RM4,500 ugut bunuh isteri
Hasil siasatan polis mendapati tertuduh tidak puas hati terhadap ibu mentuanya kerana kerap mencampuri urusan rumah tangganya.
A former police officer in Tumpat received a RM4,500 fine or a nine-month prison sentence for confessing to strangling his wife last Saturday. The Malaysian High Court delivered the verdict after Sirrul Akmal Rasali, 43, admitted guilt during a hearing in front of Magistrate Wan Ashrul Afham Mohamad Azmi. The accused is accused of verbally threatening his wife, 42, until she feared for her life in Kampung Semat Jal, Wakaf Bharu, Tumpat around 9 am on August 8.
The suspect is accused of acting aggressively in the kitchen, uttering words of murder while his pregnant wife and their children watched. Concerned for her safety, the wife called for the IPD Tumpat emergency team before the accused was arrested. Investigation revealed the accused had no tolerance for his mother-in-law often meddling in their household affairs.
The prosecution was handled by police officer Megat Asyraf Megat Ishak who requested a combined punishment for the defendant. However, the defendant's lawyer from the Malaysian Humanitarian Foundation, Afiqah Amran, requested a minimum sentence citing his son's remorse over the act and his job as a laborer earning RM50 a day. The defendant also has two school-age children and has suffered from mental health issues, receiving psychiatric treatment at Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II, Kota Bharu. The court imposed a RM4,500 fine or nine months in prison if the fine is not paid.
