Chinese national pleads not guilty after charged with stabbing ex-girlfriend at PJ university
SHAH ALAM, July 21 — A Chinese national student has reportedly pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to stabbing his former girlfriend last week.
Free Malaysia Today reported that You Wei, 22, was charged with voluntarily causing grievous hurt by stabbing the woman on the left side of her neck with a knife at a private university in Sunway here on July 14.
When he was charged under Section 326 of the Penal Code, You reportedly replied that he understood but 'disagreed'.
If convicted, the offence carries a penalty of up to 10 years in jail, or a fine, or whipping, or any combination of the three.
Deputy public prosecutor Nurul Sofea Jaysal initially urged the court to deny bail, citing You as a flight risk.
However, lawyer Revin Kumar argued that his client You was undergoing treatment for bipolar disorder and will not flee since he is completing his studies.
Judge Norazlin Othman granted bail of RM20,000 with two sureties.
She also instructed You to refrain from contacting the victim and witnesses, surrender his passport, and report to the nearest police station every month.
The case has been fixed for mention on September 17.
Last week, the police said they arrested a 21-year-old foreign man for allegedly attacking his 20-year-old ex-girlfriend with a knife at a private university in Subang Jaya, Selangor.
Investigations revealed that the victim, who is also a foreign national, suffered slash wounds to the left side of her neck.
She was taken to the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre emergency department and placed in the red zone for treatment.
