A teacher from Sek Men Rantau Panjang has been charged in court on Monday with outraging the modesty of a female student, attempting to rape her, and possessing lewd pictures on his mobile phone and laptop computer.

50-year-old Mohd Nasir Abdul Rahman allegedly used criminal force on the 17-year-old student at the school on 16 March 2007. He was also accused of attempting to rape her at PT 1832, Kampung Gual, Rantau Panjang on 14 April 2007. On 24 April 2007, he was accused of having lewd pictures in his possession.

Mohd Nasir pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The teacher’s counsel Mohd Ridwan Muhammad asked for bail as he was a government servant whose career may be affected if not granted bail. Deputy Public Prosecutor Madiah Zainol asked the judge not to allow any bail stating that the accused may intimidate or influence witnesses.

The judge decided to allow bail at RM10,000 with one surety and fixed the case for mention on 26 April 2009.

29-year-old Nor Haryanti Nordin was in court yesterday for the charge of murdering her 2-year-old daughter who is believed to have died from child abuse. The former assistant credit controller of a housing developer is alleged to have murdered Nur Iszyani Amylia Ahmad Iskandar between 25 and 26 April 2004 at their home in Damansara Damai, Sungai Buloh.

59-year-old Esah Awab was at the witness stand describing how she started babysitting Amylia in 2004 when she saw bruise marks all over the girl’s body. Haryanti claimed her son Daniel was the culprit when Esah asked her about the marks.

In another instance, Esah said Amylia had a bandage on her head and there were blood stains on her neck and clothes. When Amylia’s father was questioned on the bandage, he told Esah that the girl had fallen off her bed.

Esah also found Amylia’s sprained arm once which the father said was caused by herself when she was playing with Daniel.

Post mortem results showed that Amylia died of abdominal bleeding due to lacerations of the liver and small bowel caused by blunt-force trauma to her abdomen.

The court hearing continues today.

Three Myanmar family members were found stabbed to death yesterday in their home in Taman Tasik Permai, Ampang. The mother’s body was found in the master bedroom while her 7-year-old daughter and their 22-year-old relative were in the living room.

The 39-year-old mother’s husband made the shocking discovery when he returned home at 9am from religious classes in Sri Petaling. The family’s 1-year-old daughter was apparently spared by the killers.

The family are United Nations High Commission refugee card holders, who have been in the country for the past three years.

Police found a bloody kitchen knife in the house which is believed to be the murder weapon. They also found signs of struggle and the back door forced open. The case is being investigated under Section 302 for murder.
