SEPANG – The Sepang sessions court has scheduled August 28 for the submission of documents in the KLIA shooting case, where a man is accused of attempting to murder his wife and injuring her bodyguard.

Judge Amir Affendy Hamzah set the date after deputy public prosecutor Nor Shazwani Abdullah informed the court that medical, chemical and forensic reports were yet to be provided to the defence team.

“Today was designated for the submission of documents. I have delivered partial documents to the defence.

“The remaining documents are the full medical report, the chemist’s report from the crime scene and the forensic report. Therefore, I request another date for the submission of these documents,” she said.

During the proceedings, lawyer Nik Azim Azlan – representing the accused, Hafizul Hawari – confirmed receipt of the partial documents and acknowledged that the remaining three had not been delivered yet.

On April 25, Hafizul, 38, was charged in the sessions court here with attempting to murder his wife, Farah Md Isa, 38, at the KLIA Terminal 1 Arrival Hall at 1.09am on April 14.

He was charged under Section 307 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum imprisonment of 10 years and a fine, upon conviction. If the act results in injury, the penalty may be extended to 20 years.

He is also accused of deliberately causing severe injuries to his wife’s bodyguard, Mohd Nur Hadith Zaini, 38, with a firearm that could have caused death, at the same location, date and time.

The charge for this offence is under Section 326 of the Penal Code, which can lead to a maximum imprisonment of 20 years, along with a fine or caning, upon conviction. 

Hafizul also faces another seven charges, including for the possession of a firearm, to which he pleaded not guilty on April 24 at the Kota Bharu sessions court in Kelantan. – July 25, 2024
