00:00 A 41-year-old trader has been ordered to enter his defence for beating up his pregnant wife
00:07 three years ago. In delivering her decision on Wednesday, Sessions Court Judge Fatima
00:12 Zahari said the prosecution had proven all the ingredients of the charges and successfully
00:17 made out a prima facie case against Rosmaini Abdul Raouf.
00:21 Fatima then gave the accused three options to conduct his defence - give a sworn statement
00:26 from the witness stand, give a statement from the dock or remain silent.
00:31 Lawyer TC Lim then told the court that his client had chosen to give sworn evidence from
00:35 the witness stand.
00:37 Rosmaini was charged with causing serious injuries to 46-year-old Jahidah Nordin, alias
00:42 Sylvester, by stomping on her and hitting her head, face and hands at around 6am on
00:47 May 4, 2021, in a flat at Kampong Aman in Larkin.
00:53 The charges were framed under Section 325 and 326A of the Penal Code for causing hurt
00:59 by spouse which carries a jail term of up to 14 years with a fine if found guilty.
01:04 Fatima fixed January 24 for the next mention of the case.
01:08 Meanwhile, Jahidah's father, Nordin Qasim, when met after the proceedings said he hoped
01:12 her daughter would receive the justice that she deserved.
01:15 "The situation now is still the same.
01:24 She can't talk, she can't stand, she can't move her hands, she can't eat, she can't
01:32 eat, her nose is still running.
01:35 I hope the court will give justice to my daughter."
01:40 On June 17, 2021, it was reported that the police arrested a wanted man at Taman Bungkit
01:45 Angsana in Kuala Lumpur on June 11 for assaulting his pregnant wife.
01:50 The woman, who is a public servant, was put under the intensive care unit at Hospital
01:54 Sultana Amina in Johor Bahru due to her injuries before being transferred to Hospital Tunku
01:59 Jaffa in Seremban Negeri Sembilan.
02:01 The court has ruled that Jahidah's father, Nordin Qasim, was not guilty of the assault.
