KUCHING, Oct 13: Declaring that prison held no fear for him, a man who threatened to murder his wife outside a Syariah Court last week has been sentenced to four months behind bars.

The Magistrate’s Court handed down the sentence today after 32-year-old gym instructor, Muhamad Aisamuddin, admitted to a single charge of criminal intimidation under Section 506 of the Penal Code.

Magistrate Nuriena Syafika Mohd Najib presided over the case.

The dispute stemmed from the couple’s marriage, which the 34-year-old wife had decided to end due to her husband’s continued drug abuse.
