KUCHING, July 15: A local man has been ordered by the Magistrate’s Court here today to maintain good behavior for six months after threatening to kill his elder brother for refusing to wash the dishes after a meal.
Asmi, 50, pleaded guilty to a charge under Section 67 of the Criminal Procedure Code before Magistrate Syarifah Fatimah Azura Wan Ali.
According to the facts of the case, investigations revealed that on June 30, around 10.30am, a verbal altercation occurred between the 54-year-old complainant and his younger brother (Asmi) at their late father’s house in Kampung Bintangor.
