PETALING JAYA: A man who stabbed his little boy in the abdomen with a 13-inch bread knife last week has been jailed for 10 years.
Muhammad Safwan Shafie pleaded guilty to the charge of attempted murder under Section 307 of the Penal Code before Judge Mohammed Mokhzani Mokhtar in the Court of Sessions here today.
The 27-year-old was arrested last Saturday after stabbing his 20-month-old baby in an apartment in Puchong Permai. He later tested positive for methamphetamine.
According to the facts of the case, the police received a call around 4.30 pm that a man had stabbed his daughter in a fit of rage. Upon arriving at the scene, Safwan’s mother said that she had a knife and that she had locked herself in her home with her daughter.
After he refused to open the door, the police cut the fence and confronted Safwan, who was standing at the door with the knife.
Safwan refused to surrender and a fight broke out between him and eight policemen, after which they recovered the knife.
Police found her daughter lying on the kitchen floor with a deep wound to her abdomen. They sent her to Serdang Hospital.
The stabbing shocked the community, as it followed a similar incident in the same area in 2018.
In that incident, a drugged father cut his five-year-old son three times and killed him.
