Man Fined for Attacking Ex-Wife with Helmet

A 31-year-old man named Mohammad Firdaus Osman was fined RM3,500 by the Magistrate's Court in Johor Bahru for attacking his ex-wife with a helmet. The court imposed a six-month jail sentence if the fine is not paid.

The incident occurred at a house near Kampung Sentosa, Pasir Gudang, at 5.30pm on August 31. According to court records, Mohammad Firdaus struck the victim's head and neck with the helmet, causing injury to several parts of her body.

Mohammad Firdaus pleaded guilty to the charge and cooperated throughout the investigation. His counsel, Nurul Hidayah Mohammad Asri, requested a lighter fine due to his responsibility as a father of two children under his care.

In a separate case, a 50-year-old farmer was sentenced to four months' jail for assault and threats against his 45-year-old wife. The incident occurred on an unspecified date, but the man was convicted on August 6. His name and the exact court hearing date are not available in the search results.

Meanwhile, in a different incident, K Raju, a 50-year-old farmer, was charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt by a dangerous weapon. K Raju pleaded guilty to hurting his 45-year-old wife and making a criminal threat to kill her. The weapon used was a helmet, and the charge carries a maximum of seven years' jail, a fine, or both.

K Raju was represented by YBGK counsel Siti Nabilah Hamzah. The court records show that he caused injury to his wife, but the details of the incident are not available.

In another case, K Raju was charged under Sections 323, 326A, and 506 of the Penal Code. The charges were related to hurting his ex-wife, who is 34 years old, and making a criminal threat to kill her. The charge carries a maximum of 10 years' imprisonment, a fine, whipping, or any two of these punishments. The details of this incident are also not available.

It is important to note that if the helmet had been used as a weapon, it could have caused death. Domestic violence is a serious issue, and anyone found guilty of such crimes should be held accountable for their actions.
