Bunuh kekasih dengan topi keledar, nelayan berdepan tali gantung

Seorang nelayan dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Majistret Georgetown atas pertuduhan membunuh teman wanitanya pada 30 Mac lepas.

Ali Ahmad, 55, mengangguk tanda faham selepas pertuduhan dibacakan jurubahasa di hadapan Majistret L. Umma Devi.

Tiada pengakuan direkodkan bagi kesalahan di bawah Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan yang memperuntukkan hukuman gantung mandatori.

Menurut pertuduhan, Ali didakwa membunuh K. Surinder Kaur Bedi, 37, di tepi jalan Persiaran Bayan Indah, antara jam 10 malam hingga 10.45 malam pada 30 Mac lepas.

Mahkamah menetapkan 9 Mei depan untuk sebutan semula kes bagi semakan laporan kimia dan bedah siasat.

Pendakwaan dikendalikan oleh Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Mohammad Syafiq Nasrullah dan tertuduh tidak diwakili peguam.

Pada 1 April lepas, media melaporkan seorang wanita maut disyaki dipukul kekasihnya, seorang nelayan, dengan topi keledar di bahagian kepala, selepas berang dituduh curang.

Mangsa berusia 37 tahun itu bekerja sebagai tukang masak di sebuah hotel disahkan meninggal dunia pada jam 5.00 pagi ketika menerima rawatan di Hospital Pulau Pinang akibat kecederaan parah di kepala.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
