A MAN accused of inflicting grievous injuries on his parents with a samurai sword was charged in the Sessions Court here on Thursday, as prosecutors sought a psychiatric evaluation before the case proceeds.
Muhammad Aiman Suhaimi, 30, pleaded not guilty to two counts of causing serious harm after the charges were read before Judge Ainul Shahrin Mohamad.
According to the charge sheets, the accused is alleged to have caused grievous hurt to his father, Suhaimi Dawi, and his mother, Shahaliza Ahmad Hashim, both aged 58, using a weapon capable of causing death if misused.
The alleged attack took place at a house in Bandar Baru Putera, in the Kinta district, at about 6.30am on December 26.
The charges were brought under Sections 326 and 326A of the Penal Code, which provide for a maximum sentence of up to 20 years’ imprisonment, as well as a possible fine or whipping. Section 326A allows the court to impose a sentence of up to twice the normal term if the accused is convicted.
Deputy public prosecutor M. Raveenaa did not propose bail and requested that the unrepresented accused be referred to Hospital Bahagia, Ulu Kinta, for a mental health examination.
The court allowed the application and fixed January 30 for mention of the case. - January 2, 2026
