  "account": "A 37-year-old man named Mohd Khairudin Safi ai was charged in a Malaysian court with murdering his wife, a Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) officer, on October 15, according to prosecutors. The victim, Norhazwani Ibrahim, was 35 years old. The alleged murder took place around 7pm at a unit in the KLIA Public Servants Housing Complex. Mohd Khairudin indicated he understood the charges before magistrate Nurul Saqinah Rosli. He faces up to 40 years in prison or the death penalty if imposed, with a minimum of 12 strokes of the cane if the death penalty is not given. The case falls under the High Court's jurisdiction, meaning no plea was recorded. The court set December 22 for the mention of the post-mortem report, and no bail was granted due to the non-bailable nature of the offense.",
