Ampang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail said the 76-year-old victim, who had taken care of the 28-year-old suspect since he was born, lodged a police report on Jan 19 at 12pm.
The suspect became angry when his mother asked for money to buy groceries, resulting in her experiencing pain in the head, neck, and waist.
“An examination conducted by medical officers at the Ampang Hospital also found that the victim suffered injuries to the head and abdomen,” he said in a statement yesterday (Jan 25).
Suspect arrested
Mohd Azam said the suspect, who works as a teacher at a religious school, was nabbed by a team from the Ampang Jaya District Crime Investigation Division (BSJD) within the courtyard of the Ampang Jaya District Police Headquarters (IPD).
“A urine test found that the suspect tested negative for drugs but was found to have a criminal record.
“He has been remanded for four days starting Thursday (Jan 25) until Sunday (Jan 28) to assist in investigations under Section 323 of the Penal Code for causing voluntary hurt,” he said.
