Awie could face jail if convicted of injuring wife

KUALA LUMPUR: The Ampang Magistrate’s Court today set January 13 and 14 to hear the case of rock group Wings’ singer Awie, who is charged with hurting his wife in June last year.

Magistrate Ayuni Izzaty Sulaiman set the dates after Deputy Public Prosecutor Goh Ai Rene informed the court that the forensic report had been submitted to the defence through counsel Hazman Aaron, who is representing Awie.

On July 4, Awie, 46, whose real name is Ahmad Azhar Othman, pleaded not guilty to intentionally causing serious injury to Rozana Misbun, 36, at a house in Taman Ukay Bistari, Ukay Perdana, Hulu Kelang at 1.30pm on June 2 last year.

Awie, who played the lead role in the movies ‘Zombie Kampung Pisang’ and ‘Hantu Kak Limah’, was charged under Section 325 of the Penal Code which provides for a maximum prison sentence of seven years and a fine, if convicted.
