Police lance corporal charged with robbing Myanmar woman of gold necklace
BUTTERWORTH: A police lance corporal was charged at the Sessions Court here today with robbing a Myanmar woman of her gold necklace last week.
BUTTERWORTH: A police lance corporal, Muhammad Fitri Suwaidi, 26, was charged at the Sessions Court on October 16 for allegedly robbing a Myanmar woman of her gold necklace and causing her fear. Fitri pleaded not guilty to the charge, which under Section 392 of the Penal Code, carries a potential jail term of up to 14 years, a fine or whipping upon conviction.
The deputy public prosecutor, Nadhirah Abdul Rahim, prosecuted the case, and Fitri was unrepresented. The court denied bail but allowed Fitri to surrender his passport and refrain from disturbing the witness. Fitri argued he needed bail to care for his family, consisting of two young children and a working wife. The court granted bail at RM5,000 with one surety and ordered Fitri to appear for mention on November 23 pending the submission of documents and the appointment of a lawyer.
Fitri was under suspension at the time of the alleged offense while attached to the Kedah police contingent headquarters.
