The vocalist of Wings, also apologised in the open court to 38-year-old Rozana. "I, Ahmad Azhar Othman, sincerely and honestly, by taking into account the welfare of our children and to save the august court's time, apologise to Rozana.
"I and Rozana agree that this is the best way to resolve the black episode in our lives for us to continue with our life," said Awie during today's proceeding.
Magistrate Ayuni Izzati Sulaiman disposed the case after the prosecution and defence agreed to resolve it through compound payment and open apology by the accused as provided under Section 260 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
