KUALA LUMPUR: A 39-year-old odd-job worker pleaded not guilty at the Ampang magistrate’s court yesterday to attacking two women.
In the first incident, Sheikh Mohd Zaid Sheikh Said was charged with causing grievous hurt to his wife Marina Hashim, 33, by throwing a black wooden chair at her at their home in Taman Nirwana, Ampang, about 7am on July 21.
Deputy public prosecutor Nazatul Shima Ab Wahab proposed bail of RM5,000 in one surety while defence counsel Adenan Ismail asked for it to be reduced.
Magistrate Azaraorni Abd Rahman then fixed bail at RM4,000 in one surety.
Twenty minutes later, Sheikh Mohd was charged again in the same court for kicking a police officer, Assistant Superintendent Saheela Abu Bakar, on her thigh and leg to obstruct her from performing her duty at the same venue about 5.40pm on Dec 26 last year.
(It was not stated in the charge sheet why Saheela was at the defendent’s house).
Nazatul proposed bail of RM5,000, but Adenan pleaded for a lower bail, based on the fact that this was a lighter offence.
Azaraorni then set bail at RM3,000 in one surety and fixed Aug 30 for mention.
In the first incident, Sheikh Mohd faces a maximum jail sentence of seven years’ and fine for causing grievous hurt, while in the second incident, he faces up to a maximum three years’ jail or fine, or both, for hurting the police officer.
Sheikh Mohd, who was brought to the court wearing a singlet and shorts, was given a T-shirt to wear by a female relative, who then covered his head before he was taken out of the courtroom after being charged.
