KOTA BARU: The Kelantan Welfare Department has dispatched counsellors to assist the family of a nurse who sustained six stab wounds inflicted by her husband in Kampung Padang Lepai. Director Che Samsuzuki Che Noh disclosed that the counsellors had visited the victim's residence last week. He disclosed that the department would extend additional support if required.
Besides offering counselling services, the state Welfare Department will evaluate the family's requirements and furnish suitable aid, Che Samsuzuki informed reporters after meeting with the nurse at Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital.
Che Samsuzuki, who was accompanied by Kelantan Women's Development Office director Nik Farhan Muhaimin, expressed optimism regarding the nurse's recovery progress. Doctors informed him that the victim's health was improving and that wound dressings might be removed within the next day or two, provided there are no complications. If all proceeds as planned, the nurse could be moved to a standard ward.
The nurse, who is 44 years old, was gravely injured after being stabbed six times by her spouse at their home in Kampung Padang Lepai on October 5. The suspect, a 47-year-old man, was apprehended and remanded for seven days starting October 6 to aid in the investigation. Police suspect that a divorce-related dispute was the motive behind the assault.
