Kota Kinabalu: A 40-year-old man was charged in the Sessions Court here with voluntarily causing hurt to his younger sister using a hammer.
Azma Sarjan entered a guilty plea before Judge Marlina Ibrahim, but the court rejected it.
Azma is accused of committing the offence against his 37-year-old sister at 3.15pm on Oct 13 at a house in Kampung Kalansanan, Inanam.
The charge under Section 324 of the Penal Code carries a maximum sentence of 10 years' imprisonment, a fine, or both.
Judge Marlina fixed Dec 2 for case management and ordered Azma to be remanded without bail after the prosecution informed the court that the accused faces a separate drug-related charge.
