“I still love my wife and child”
The father of one, who didn’t have a lawyer, got emotional as he asked for a lighter sentence, saying he still loves his wife and child.
“After 40 days locked up, I just want to see them. I can’t handle staying in jail any longer,” he said.
Deputy public prosecutor Farah Wahidah Mohd Sharip handled the case, where earlier, the prosecution shared a statement from the wife in court.
In it, she shared her fear and frustration, saying,
“I’m scared of my husband. I don’t want to live with him anymore. I don’t understand why I’m always being hit for no reason.”
The suspect admitted to the offence under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt, after the charge was read to him by the court interpreter before Magistrate Suhaila Shafi’uddin.
