PETALING JAYA : A delivery rider pleaded not guilty in the Ayer Keroh sessions court in Melaka today to four charges of robbing four women in the Melaka Tengah area in February and April this year.
Bernama reported that Ahmad Reezqan Jaliludin, 31, was accused of robbing Nila Afrila, a foreigner, and fleeing with her handbag which contained a mobile phone and other items estimated to be worth RM2,500.
The offence was allegedly committed at a lane along Jalan Rumah Pangsa Bachang Permai, Melaka Tengah, at about 9.15pm on Feb 23.
He was also charged with robbing three other women: Nohayati Hussin, 27, at a sidewalk near the Kipmall supermarket on April 22; and Tiow Poh Mee, 49, and Maureen Chan, 70, at the parking lot of Lotus Peringgit the next day at around 12.30pm and 4.17pm respectively.
All four charges were framed under Section 392 of the Penal Code for robbery, which provides for a maximum jail term of 14 years with the possibility of a fine or whipping, upon conviction.
The prosecution, conducted by deputy public prosecutors Wardah Ishhar and Ehsan Nasarudin, proposed bail of RM30,000 for each charge with an additional condition that Reezqan report to the nearest police station once a month.
Lawyer Umar Zulkarnain, representing Reezqan, appealed for a lower bail amount and requested that two people be allowed as sureties, adding that his client would be bailed out by his sister, a clerk earning around RM2,500 per month, while his wife is unemployed.
Judge Haderiah Siri set bail at RM8,000 for each charge with two sureties and allowed the additional condition as requested by the prosecution.
The court fixed June 17 for mention and the submission of documents.
