A labourer in Kota Bharu, Malaysia, has admitted to injuring his 58-year-old father with a cempedak fruit, according to Kota Bharu sessions court judge Zulkipli Abllah. On October 4, the court will hear the sentencing for the case. The 30-year-old labourer, Zarid Dainal Rahim, works on an oil palm plantation and allegedly committed the act on August 13 in Kampung Sungai Johor, Kuala Krai, at around 11 a.m. He faces charges under Section 325 and 326A of the Penal Code, which could result in up to seven years' imprisonment and a fine.
However, since the victim is a family member, the prison term could be extended to twice the maximum term.
