Car wash worker claims trial to attempted murder of traffic cop
K Viknes faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine, if convicted.
On September 24, car wash worker K Viknes appeared in court to plead not guilty to attempting to murder traffic cop Lance Corporal Badrul Izwany Pauzi. Pauzi sustained a broken arm and leg after being struck by a vehicle allegedly attempting to elude a police roadblock. Viknes, 29, claimed trial after being charged under Section 307 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence and fine if convicted.
Deputy public prosecutor M Raveena sought bail of RM100,000 with passport surrender, while Viknes' lawyer Jagdave Singh argued for a reduced RM10,000 bail due to his client's low income. Norhayati Yunus, the judge, set bail at RM20,000 with one surety and mandated Viknes to report to police monthly and surrender his passport to the court. The trial was scheduled for October 26.
