Man jailed, wife fined for child abuse with durian husk in KL
KUALA LUMPUR: A man was sentenced to five years in jail while his wife was fined RM18,000 by the Sessions Court after both admitted to abusing their seven-year-old daughter with a durian husk. Judge Mohd Zaki Mohd Salleh ruled that Bunyamin Sukiman, 42, would serve his term from the date of arrest on July 18. His wife, Yorlini Abdullah Umar, 32, faces three months in jail if she fails to pay the fine. The court also placed the couple on a three-year good behaviour bond without surety and ordered them to complete 12 months of community service. The abuse occurred at their home in Jalan Ampang on July 16, where the girl was allegedly beaten, had her ear twisted, and her hand injured by a durian husk. The case came to light after the victim's school investigated an unrelated incident involving a cut headscarf. During questioning, the child revealed the abuse, including having her hand pressed with a durian husk and soaked in warm salted water. Deputy public prosecutor Ravindejit Kaur argued for a harsh penalty, stating the act was 'extreme cruelty' and that children deserve protection, not violence. The couple's lawyer, Simret Singh, appealed for leniency, citing Yorlini's unemployment and Bunyamin's role as the sole breadwinner. Both expressed remorse during detention. - Bernama

Zayn Rayyan's mother clarifies WhatsApp message in court
PETALING JAYA: The mother of Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin clarified in court that a WhatsApp message containing the phrase 'lantaklah nak hidup ke nak mati' was meant for herself, not her six-year-old son. Ismanira Abdul Manaf, 30, explained that the message was sent to her husband, Zaim Ikhwan Zahari, during a moment of distress while searching for their missing child at Apartment Idaman, Damansara Damai, on Dec 5, 2023. 'The message was not aimed at my son. I was frantic and desperate for my husband's help at that time,' she said during the defence trial. The court heard that the message was retrieved from her iPhone during the investigation into Zayn Rayyan's death. A close friend of Ismanira, Umi Syafiqah Rohizal, testified that she had never seen the couple neglect their children. 'She was always careful with them, holding their hands when walking around the apartment,' Umi said. The couple was initially charged with neglecting their autistic son under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001. However, the husband was acquitted, while Ismanira was ordered to enter her defence. The trial continues on Aug 4. - Bernama
