A hospital worker, Nik Mohd Helmi Raja Sulong (38), pleaded not guilty today to assaulting his ex-wife's husband with a parang in Kampung Pulau Raja on July 16.
He's charged under Section 326 of the Penal Code for intentionally causing grievous injury, which carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence. Despite the prosecution's request to deny bail due to the victim's relation to the accused's ex-wife, the court granted RM10,000 bail, citing the accused's heart condition and five children. The case will be mentioned again on August 26.
