HEAVEN apparently hath no fury like a woman scorned.
In this case, an army sergeant was seriously injured after he was
allegedly splashed with acid by his live-in girlfriend after she
found out that he was already married.
Sgt Shahril Hashim, 41, has been warded at the Sarawak General
Hospital for severe burns on his face and upper body, reported The
New Straits Times.
The incident allegedly occurred about 2.30am on Tuesday at Sgt
Shahril's rented house in Kampung Haji Baki.
According to a report lodged by Sgt Shahril's colleagues, the
girlfriend had been living with him for a few months before the
incident.
According to the paper's police sources, when they first met,
Kuantan-born Sgt Shahril had told the woman that he was a
bachelor.
The woman was apparently very persistent over the future of their
relationship, but Sgt Shahril kept giving her excuses on the
question of marriage.
Upon discovering that Sgt Shahril was already married with four
children on Monday night, the woman became angry, and they
allegedly had a heated argument before she left the house.
Early on Tuesday, the women returned to the house and allegedly
splashed acid on Sgt Shahril. She left the house after the
incident.
On the same day, police arrested the woman about 10.30pm at her
parents' house in Kota Sentosa.
The magistrate's court ordered that the woman be remanded for 10
days until 15 Sep for investigations.
