SEREMBAN: A 20-year-old woman, who had pleaded innocence when she was first charged last September, has now admitted to using a hot metal spoon to cause burns and injuries on the arms of young girls at the childcare centre she was working at.
Puteri Nurin Amalina Ahmad Daud, who was a childcare assistant at the care home linked to Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings, pleaded guilty to the four charges yesterday in two Sessions Court.
The charges were read to her separately before judges Meor Sulaiman Ahmad Tarmizi and Surita Budin yesterday.
Puteri Nurin Amalina admitted to committing the offences against the victims, aged five and six, at a centre here in August last year.
She was charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001.
Earlier, deputy public prosecutors Intan Noorashikin Nasarudin and Nurul Balkis Zunaidi told both judges that a representation filed by the defence to review the charges had been rejected by the Attorney General’s Chambers.
Both courts then fixed March 19 for sentencing pending the tabling of a social report on the accused.
The accused was then sent to the Sungai Udang prison as she could not raise the RM80,000 bail amount.
