Rohingya Man Charged with Murder Following Fatal Stabbing in Seberang Perai

A Rohingya man, Osman Bawdi Alom, aged 38, has been charged with the murder of his fellow countryman, Abdul Rahman Shah Mia, 31. The fatal incident occurred on May 31 at Lorong Belibis 14, Taman Belibis, in South Seberang Perai. The accused also faces a charge for causing injury to the victim's wife, Formin Lal Mia, 26, with a knife. The victim succumbed to multiple stab wounds sustained during the incident.
Charges Filed in Jawi Magistrate's Court

Osman Bawdi Alom was brought before Magistrate Nurul Aina Ahmad at the Jawi Magistrate's Court. He was formally charged with the murder of Abdul Rahman Shah Mia under Section 302 of the Penal Code. No plea was recorded for this charge, as murder cases are under the jurisdiction of the High Court. The prosecution was represented by Deputy Public Prosecutor Airina Syazreen Zainurin, while the accused had legal representation from lawyer G. Sathiash.
Additional Charge for Causing Injury

In addition to the murder charge, Osman Bawdi Alom pleaded not guilty to a separate charge. This charge relates to causing injury to the victim's wife, Formin Lal Mia, using a knife at the same location and time as the fatal stabbing. This offence is framed under Section 324 of the Penal Code, which carries penalties including a maximum of 10 years' imprisonment, a fine, or caning.
Case Mention Date and Bail Status

Magistrate Nurul Aina Ahmad has set August 7 as the date for the case mention, pending the submission of the post-mortem report. Bail was denied for the accused. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene due to multiple stab wounds, and his wife also sustained injuries.
Proceedings for Other Arrested Individuals

Following the incident, two Rohingya women were also arrested in connection with the murder. Proceedings related to the charges against these women, identified as Humaira, 18, and Minara, 29, have been postponed to June 23. This postponement is to allow for a Myanmar interpreter to be present to read the charges to them.
