PETALING JAYA: A woman and her boyfriend were charged in the magistrates’ court here with the murder of her five-year-old son.
Mary Teh, 44, and lorry driver S Puvaneswaran, 29, nodded after the charge was read out to them, but no plea was recorded as the case is under the jurisdiction of the High Court.
They were jointly charged with murdering Joseph Teh at a house in Taman Puncak Jalil, Seri Kembangan, near here, at 12.55am on Aug 22.
The charge provides for the death sentence, if found guilty.
In the same court, Puvaneswaran was also charged with giving a false statement to police officer Rashmit Kaur Harpajan Singh, to which he pleaded not guilty.
The offence was allegedly committed at the Seri Kembangan police station at 2.57am on Aug 22.
The charge, framed under Section 182 of the Penal Code, provides for imprisonment of up to six months or a maximum fine of RM2,000, or both, if found guilty.
Magistrate Shahril Anuar Ahmad Mustapa set Oct 2 for mention of both cases.
Deputy public prosecutor Nurul Sofea Jaysal prosecuted, while neither of the accused were represented. - FMT
