Trader claims trial for attempted murder
KUALA LUMPUR: A man pleaded not guilty to attempting to murder a police officer by running him over with a sport utility vehicle earlier this month.
M.M Steven, 30, a self-employed trader, was charged with attempting to run over Insp Hazlan Ali Abdul Hamid with a Perodua Aruz on April 4 at 2.45pm near Taman Cheras with intent to cause death.
The charge was framed under Section 307 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to 20 years, a fine or both, upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Vivien Yeap did not offer any bail.
Lawyer Tripatjit Singh, who represented the accused, applied for low bail on the grounds that his client was looking after his elderly mother and was not at risk of absconding.
Sessions Court judge Noridah Adam allowed the accused bail of RM10,000 on one surety and set May 28 for next mention. - Bernama
