Man charged with Indonesian's murder in Klang
KLANG: A window pane installer was charged at the magistrate’s court with murdering an Indonesian last month.
A window pane installer, Fauzi Mahya, 36, has been charged in Klang with the murder of an Indonesian man, Wijaya, in his 30s, according to prosecutors. The incident allegedly took place at 1:20pm on September 25 along Jalan Shahpadu Lama, Kampung Batu Belah. Fauzi acknowledged the charge when it was read out in magistrate Nor Azilah Mat's court last Friday, but no plea was entered as murder cases are heard in the High Court.
The charge, under Section 302 of the Penal Code, could result in the death penalty, a 30-40 year prison term, or at least 12 strokes of the rotan if the death penalty is not imposed. Bail was denied, and the next court appearance is set for January 12. Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Sulfie Abu Hassan represented the prosecution, while Fauzi had no legal representation.
The victim passed away on September 29. The suspect was apprehended near Jalan Harapan in Taman Sungai Kapar Indah. Investigations revealed that Fauzi had allegedly confronted the victim after suspecting him of having an affair with his wife.
