GEORGE TOWN: Police have completed their probe into a domestic assault case involving a Penang assemblyman and his wife, and submitted the investigation paper to the deputy public prosecutor’s (DPP) office for further action.
State police chief Datuk Dennis Lim confirmed the submission when contacted.
“The investigation paper is with the DPP,” he said briefly.
Earlier this month, police recorded statements from four people, including the assemblyman and his wife, over the assault.
Lim said that a police report was lodged and the case was being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt.
No arrests have been made.
This is the second reported case involving an alleged domestic assault by a Penang assemblyman.
On Feb 27, Pantai Jerejak assemblyman Fahmi Zainol claimed trial to a charge of voluntarily causing hurt to his wife, Nur Hidayah Abd Jabar.
The offence was committed at 10pm on Feb 22 at a house in Persiaran Pantai Jerejak 11, Bayan Lepas.
The charge was framed under Section 323 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 326A.
Fahmi is contesting the charge and has denied involvement in the latest domestic assault involving a Penang assemblyman.
