'Wrong moves': Silat instructor claims trial to sexual assault of male students
KOTA BARU: A silat instructor pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court here today to four charges of sexually assaulting three male students aged 15 and 17. Faizul Yusoff, 54, was charged with two counts of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in a hotel room at Kampung Semut Api Badang, Jalan Pantai Cahaya Bulan (PCB), at 9pm on Feb 13 and again at 3am on Feb 14, 2025. He also faces a charge of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy at a homestay in Kampung Talang Kadok at 1am on Nov 13, 2023. Additionally, he is accused of committing a similar offence involving another 17-year-old victim at a homestay in Kubang Golok, Bachok, at 3am on Jan 28 this year. Faizul was charged under Sections 14(a) and 14(b) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which provides for imprisonment of up to 20 years and whipping, upon conviction. Deputy Public Prosecutor Kamarul Hasyime Rosli appeared for the prosecution, while the accused was represented by Nur Alyaa Mohd Zain from the Kelantan Legal Aid Foundation. Earlier, Kamarul Hasyime objected to bail on grounds of the seriousness of the charges. However, Nur Alyaa requested for minimal bail, citing that her client has no fixed income as he works solely as a silat instructor and is supporting five children. Judge Zulkifli Abdullah granted bail at RM10,000 for each charge with one surety, and ordered the accused not to interfere with the victims. He was also instructed to report to the nearest police station once a month. The court set July 27 for mention.

Ghaziabad: 35-year-old held for killing woman friend at his house
Ghaziabad: Days after a woman's decomposed body was recovered from a house in Loni's Ilaychipur locality on April 24, the Ghaziabad police arrested her 38-year-old male friend on Saturday saying that he allegedly strangled her during an altercation that ensued as he was pushing her to stay with him and also bring along her teenage daughter. Police identified the suspect as Imran Khan, who stayed at a rented house in Ilaychipur. He is married and has two children. His family resides in Loni but he was ousted due to his bad habits. Officers said that the suspect and the deceased (name withheld), a resident of a locality under the jurisdiction of Harsh Vihar police station, Delhi, were friends for the last three years. The deceased had five children from two marriages. She was staying in Delhi with children and sometimes visited the suspect's rented house where they had a quarrel on April 22, police said. 'Since the suspect had visited her house several times in past, the woman sensed that he had bad intentions towards her minor daughter. So, she opposed his proposal, leading to a heated argument. The suspect strangled her with a piece of cloth, tied her hands and legs with a rope and packed the body in a blanket. That day, he stayed in the same room with the body and fled after locking the house early morning the next day,' said Siddharth Gautam, ACP of Loni Circle. Locals alerted police on April 24 after a foul smell emanated from the suspect's house. Police recovered her decomposed body. Officers said that the landlord of the house provided them a copy of his Aadhar card but it identified him as Faizul instead of Imran Khan, ACP said. Officers said the autopsy revealed the cause of death as 'asphyxia due to ante-mortem strangulation' (before death). Her son, who was searching for his mother, learned about her from media persons about a body found in Ilaychipur. Later, he identified her. An FIR was registered at Tronica City police station under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita section 103(1) (murder). The boy named the suspect Imran alias Faizul in the FIR. 'Several police teams were tracking the suspect who had fled to Haridwar. When he returned to visit his family in Loni, he was tracked via electronic surveillance. An Aadhar-card which he submitted to his landlord will also be verified. Apart from murder case, the suspect may face further legal action if the Aadhar card was found to be fake,' the ACP added.
