A 43-year-old technician, G Vikneswaran, has been charged with the murder of his wife, S Sila, 39, in Kulim, Kedah, according to prosecutors. The incident is alleged to have occurred at their residence in Taman Tiram on September 14, between 6:30pm and 9pm. Vikneswaran, who is a father, appeared before the Kulim magistrates court but no plea was recorded as murder cases are under the jurisdiction of the High Court.
The charge under Section 302 of the Penal Code carries a potential death sentence or 30 to 40 years in prison, along with 12 cane strokes upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor S Preeyaa represented the prosecution, while Vikneswaran had no legal representation.
