A 42-year-old unemployed man denied attempting to kill his wife by smothering her with a pillow at their Perak home last week.
IPOH: An unemployed man pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court here today to attempting to murder his wife last week.
Mohd Yusof Mat Yatim, 42, denied the charge read before Judge Meor Sulaiman Ahmad Tarmizi.
He was accused of attempting to kill Syazwana Mohd Talaha, 38, by covering her face with a pillow at their home in Taman Changkat Lada Raya, Seberang Perak on March 25.
The alleged offence, under Section 307 of the Penal Code, carries severe penalties upon conviction.
Prosecuting Officer Inspector Zahira Musa objected to bail, citing the accused’s aggressive behaviour and an attempt to jump from a building during the investigation.
The court set May 4 for mention to allow Mohd Yusof to appoint a lawyer.
