| 2010-04-14 |
| [Straits Times] A COURT sentenced a Malaysian man to six years in prison and ordered him to be flogged with a rattan cane after he splashed acid on his wife for refusing to have sex with him, an official said on Tuesday. Supian Hani Ismail began serving the prison term on Monday after a district court judge in eastern Pahang state issued the sentence, a court official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to make public statements. The unemployed 47-year-old had pleaded guilty to a charge of 'causing grievous hurt' to his wife by splashing a bottle of acid on her after she rebuffed his demand for sex on the night of April 7 at their home, the official said. Supian will also receive two lashes of a thick rattan stick, which generally leaves lifelong scars. Supian's wife was recovering in a hospital after suffering burns on her face, hands and other parts of her body, the national news agency Bernama said. |
