PASIR MAS - A teacher pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of attempting to murder his son by stabbing him with a vegetable knife earlier this month.
Asrolfandi Mohd Ab Suki, 47, entered the plea after the charge was read before Judge Zulkpli Abdullah.
He was charged with stabbing his 11-year-old son twice with a knife and seriously injuring him at their home in Kampung Banggol Che Dol, Pohon Tanjung, at 8.55 am on May 2.
The charge was framed under Section 307 of the Penal Code, which provides for a jail term of up to 20 years upon conviction.
