KUALA LUMPUR: An unemployed man pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here on Wednesday (March 18) to a charge of causing grievous bodily harm to a masseur using a dangerous weapon.
Adam Muhammad, 37, was accused of attacking Sani, 30, with a spanner at a premises in Dang Wangi here at 8.15pm on March 10.
The charge, under Section 326 of the Penal Code, provides for up to 20 years' jail and a fine or caning upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Vivien Yeap Jie Xi did not offer bail because the victim suffered severe head injuries and received multiple stitches.
"Based on closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, it is clear that the accused brought the spanner into the victim’s workplace," she said.
Adam, who was unrepresented, appealed for bail, citing that he had recently been released from prison.
"I just served a one-year sentence, but during that time my wife married the man (the victim) without us being divorced," he said.
Judge Dr Azrol Abdullah did not grant bail and set May 14 for mention. – Bernama
