Man denies beating wife with rubber hose
The accused, Daniel Kenneth Abdullah, was charged with voluntarily causing hurt to his 24-year-old wife by kicking her leg and whipping her with a rubber hose.
The offence was allegedly committed at their apartment in Bandar Sri Permaisuri here at 9pm on April 30. He was charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code with voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons, read together with Section 326A of the same Code.
Section 324 provides for a maximum prison term of 10 years, or a fine, or whipping, or any two of these punishments, while Section 326A allows for the sentence to be doubled, if convicted.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamad Ikhwan Mohd Nasir objected to bail, stating that the offence is non-bailable and expressed concern that the victim still resides with the accused.
Daniel, who was unrepresented, appealed for bail, expressing remorse for his actions and promising to take care of his two children, aged four months and one year, as well as his wife, who is currently pregnant.
Judge Zulqarnain Hassan denied bail and set June 9 for mention and document submission. – Bernama

Former Michelin-starred restaurant owner in Japan arrested after food poisonings
OSAKA: Members of a family who run a formerly Michelin-starred restaurant in western Japan were arrested on Monday (June 16) for ignoring an order to temporarily shut down the establishment after a spate of food poisonings, Kyodo News Agency reported. Hirokazu Kitano, 69, along with his son Hirotoshi Kitano, 41, and his wife Noriko, 68, have all been involved in the operation of the traditional Japanese-style restaurant Kiichi in Kawachinagano, Osaka Prefecture. It is alleged they violated the Food Sanitation Act. According to the prefectural government and other sources, the restaurant was handed a two-day business suspension order on Feb 15 after 33 customers experienced vomiting and diarrhoea following meals at the restaurant or after consuming "bento" boxed meals sold earlier that month. Norovirus was detected in some of the people, which a local public health centre determined was linked to food poisoning. Then, 23 more people who ate at the restaurant between Feb 22 and 24 fell sick and norovirus was again detected, prompting authorities to order the restaurant to close indefinitely from March 2. Subsequent investigations found that the business had continued to sell bento boxes during the initial suspension order. - Bernama/Kyodo
