Two employees injured as robbers hit two convenience stores in Melaka
MELAKA: Two employees at 24-hour convenience stores have been injured in separate early morning robberies here. Melaka Tengah police chief ACP Christopher Patit said the first incident occurred at around 4.40am on Saturday (June 14) in Taman Sin Hoe, Bukit Baru. A 20-year-old worker, who was alone at the time, sustained injuries after she was struck on her head. The attacker, who wore a helmet and face mask, approached the counter asking for an e-wallet transaction before grabbing the cash drawer. A struggle ensued and the victim was assaulted. The suspect fled with approximately RM300. The victim was taken to Melaka Hospital and is in stable condition. In the second incident at around the same time in Saujana Puri, Bukit Katil, a man dressed as a food delivery rider entered another store and also requested an e-wallet top-up. "When the 31-year-old cashier attempted to return the change, the suspect reached into the cash drawer. The victim tried to stop him and was struck on the wrist with a metal object," said ACP Patit. The suspect fled on a motorcycle. No money was taken but the employee sustained minor injuries. Both cases are being investigated under Section 394 of the Penal Code for causing hurt in the course of committing robbery. – Bernama

Melaka woman injured in four-storey fall after domestic dispute
KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 — A 35-year-old woman was injured after falling from the balcony of her fourth-floor apartment in Cheng, Melaka, following an argument with her husband yesterday. The incident occurred at around 8am when a neighbour found the victim lying on her back below the apartment block and alerted the police. Melaka Tengah District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Christopher Patit said the neighbour reported hearing a loud thud before discovering the woman. Preliminary investigations found that the woman had been at home with her 33-year-old husband at the time. 'Her husband, who works as a lorry attendant, admitted to a verbal dispute with his wife before she fell,' Patit said in a statement. The couple, married in 2023, has no children. Police are seeking independent witnesses to the incident. The victim remains under treatment at Melaka Hospital, while investigations continue under Section 307 of the Penal Code and Section 18A of the Domestic Violence Act 1994.
