KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 10 — A police corporal who intentionally caused serious injury to a labourer was today charged in the Sessions Court here with attempted murder.
Baxter Kisar, 27, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge before judge Zaman Mohd Noor.
The policeman, who is with the Bukit Aman Serious Crime Investigation Division (D9) was charged with committing the offence on A. Krishnan, 33, in front of KK Kopitiam Jalan Rampai Niaga 1, Sri Rampai, Wangsa Maju here between 5am and 5.45am on July 18, 2017.
The charge, under Section 307 of the Penal Code, provides an imprisonment for up to 10 years, and is also liable to fine, if found guilty, and if hurt is caused by such act, an imprisonment for up to 20 years.
Deputy public prosecutor Amira Sariaty Zainal, who prosecuted, did not offer bail on grounds that the accused was a public servant.
However, Kisar, from Tenom, Sabah, requested to be allowed bail on grounds that his wife, who is not working, was pregnant with their second child.
Following which, the court allowed Kisar, who was unrepresented, bail of RM8,000 in one surety and ordered to surrender his passport, as well as to not intimidate the witness.
The court set February 12 for mention. — Bernama
