Pregnant woman, husband jailed over robbery and theft in Melaka
At the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court, Judge Haderiah Siri sentenced Jasila Jamaruddin, 31, to three years' imprisonment after she pleaded guilty to a robbery charge.
She was charged with robbing a 42-year-old woman of a gold bracelet worth RM12,000 in front of a cafe in Bandar Baru Sungai Udang, Central Melaka, at about 11am on May 28 this year.
The court ordered her to serve the sentence from the date of arrest, which was June 10.
In a separate proceeding at the same court, Jaslia, pregnant with her fifth child, and her husband, Muhammad Alif Aiman Zaini, 24, were each sentenced to one year in prison by Judge Rohatul Akmar Abdullah after they pleaded guilty to receiving and disposing of stolen property.
They were charged with selling the gold bracelet at a pawn shop in Jalan Kiara Semenyih, Hulu Langat, at about 4pm around 4pm on the day of the robbery.
In another proceeding at the Ayer Keroh magistrate's court, magistrate Uthman Abdul Ghani sentenced the couple to five months in jail after they pleaded guilty to theft in a dwelling, an offence under Section 380 of the Penal Code.
The couple was jointly charged with stealing an LED television, a Xiaomi Android box, an iron, a water heater, blankets and pillows, as well as the door and lift access cards of their rented accommodation at Atlantis Residence Tower, Kota Laksamana, on April 26.
The couple was unrepresented in all the proceedings while the prosecution was represented by deputy public prosecutors Wardah Ishhar and Muhammad Nazrin Ali Rahim.

Another Suspected Criminal Killed In Shootout With Police In Sungai Petani
SUNGAI PETANI, July 5 (Bernama) -- Police have shot dead another man believed to be involved in a series of armed robberies, just a day after two other suspects were killed in a shootout in Jitra. The 34-year-old suspect was fatally shot during a similar shootout with police at 7.50 pm in Bandar Puteri Jaya, according to acting director of the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Datuk Fadil Marsus. 'This was a special operation led by Bukit Aman CID in collaboration with several state contingents and all branches of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM). 'Today, we encountered an individual believed to be part of a gang involved in a series of armed robberies across several states. Attempts were made to arrest him, but he resisted and a shootout ensued, leading to his death,' he told reporters at the scene. A pistol and several other items were recovered from the suspect, who had more than 30 prior criminal records. Fadil said police believe the suspect was also a key member of a criminal group, comprising over a dozen members, responsible for a string of armed robberies, gangsterism and drug trafficking dating back to 2022, which caused losses estimated at nearly RM6 million. 'Our investigations indicate this suspect was also involved in three recent armed robberies in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Perak,' he added. Fadil emphasised that the police would continue to act aggressively to apprehend individuals involved in violent crimes, especially those involving firearms. The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code.

Three women lodge police reports against preacher over umrah, school 'investment' claims
KUALA LUMPUR: Three women have lodged separate police reports against a high-profile freelance preacher, alleging they were deceived into parting with a total of RM200,000. The women, aged between their 30s and 40s, filed their reports at different police stations today. Each complaint centres around monetary transactions purportedly made to assist with the operations of a religious school in the Klang Valley and matters related to umrah pilgrimages. A 41-year-old woman lodged a report at the Seksyen 9 police station in Shah Alam, claiming she had handed over RM60,000 after receiving a message via WhatsApp. The funds were allegedly requested to help manage umrah pilgrimage arrangements and were transferred into a bank account belonging to a company linked to the religious school. Meanwhile, a 39-year-old woman filed a report at the Bukit Jelutong police station, also in Shah Alam, alleging she had loaned the same individual RM60,000 across three transactions between August and September 2020. She said the funds were intended to assist in the development of the preacher's religious school, including its administration and maintenance. The woman said she became acquainted with the preacher through his religious talks on social media and had attended several events organised by the school. The third report was made at the Wangsa Maju police station by a 44-year-old woman, who claimed she had handed over RM80,000 in stages to the individual as part of a so-called "investment" to purchase the same religious school. She also alleged that she was repeatedly asked to make additional payments, with various excuses given, including claims that the investment had been postponed and required further resettlement. Wangsa Maju district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Lazim Ismail, when contacted today, confirmed that the reports had been received, but said the case had been referred to the Gombak district police headquarters. "The report was made in Wangsa Maju but has been transferred to the Gombak police district headquarters, as the incident falls under their jurisdiction," he said. Berita Harian is seeking further confirmation from the authorities regarding the allegations. Previously, the same individual went viral on social media after being linked to allegations involving an indecent video recording with several women said to be his wives. Separately, a Facebook user has also come forward, claiming to be a victim of a similar financial scam involving the same preacher. In a post dated June 15, an umrah mutawif identified as Mahmood Sa-ah alleged that he was asked to assist with booking hotel accommodation in Makkah for the preacher's umrah pilgrims. According to him, the preacher failed to settle the hotel bill, resulting in Mahmood being jailed in Saudi Arabia for four weeks after being unable to pay the debt.
