KUALA LUMPUR: The mother of the suspect in the Ulu Tiram police station attack, which resulted in the deaths of two officers and injuries to another, has pleaded not guilty in the High Court here to a charge of omitting to provide information about crimes related to the ideology of terrorism.
Rosna Jantan, 59, was charged with committing the offence at a house in Kampung Sungai Tiram, Johor Baru, between April 2017 and May 17, 2024.
The charge, under Section 130M of the Penal Code, carries a prison sentence of not more than seven years or a fine or both, if convicted.
During the proceedings before Judge Noorin Badaruddin, Deputy Public Prosecutor Yazid Mustaqim Roslan informed the court that the accused had a lawyer representing her when she was charged at the Johor Baru Sessions Court.
However, the DPP said the prosecution had been informed that the lawyer was not present on Monday (Sept 30) because he had not received prior notice.
"The accused was previously charged alongside other individuals, and the case was set for mention before Judge Azhar Abdul Hamid at the High Court on Oct 23.
"The prosecution intends to transfer the case to this court. Therefore, we request that the case management be scheduled for a later date to allow the mention of the case involving the other accused to come first,” said Yazid.
The court has set Nov 12 for case management.
On June 19, Rosna, a Singaporean, and her husband, along with their three children, were charged in the Johor Baru Sessions Court with terrorism-related offences. – Bernama
