Sabah homestay operator cleared of drug possession charge

KOTA KINABALU: The magistrate's court here freed a homestay operator from a drug possession charge on the grounds of technicality.

Magistrate Afiq Agoes acquitted and discharged Mohd Nasrul Jainorahim, 38, who was charged under Section 12 (2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, punishable under Section 39A (1) of the same Act.

"Having heard the defence as well as having seen all the submission submitted, I am inclined to agree with counsel that the prosecution's technical failure in tendering the amended charge with the accurate weight of drugs possessed by the accused, is fatal to the case.

"Therefore, the accused in this case is discharged and acquitted from the charge," Afiq said when he delivered his decision after a full trial has been conducted since 2019.

Man acquitted of threatening ex-girlfriend

KOTA KINABALU: An unemployed man was freed by the Magistrate’s Court here yesterday from a charge of threatening his ex-girlfriend last year.

Magistrate Cindy Mc Juce Balitus acquitted and discharged Hajirol Halid, 39, without calling for his defence after she ruled that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case against the man.

The charge stated that Hajirol, who was defended by counsel Azhier Farhan Arisin, had allegedly threatened to kill the victim aged 37, to commit arson on her house and to pour acid on her at a house at Taman Sepanggar in Menggatal on October 26.
