REMBAU, Jan 19 — A jobless man was charged in the Magistrate’s Court here today with murdering his sister, father and grandparents.

Rasidi Ismail, 32, was charged with murdering his sister, Siti Khadijah, 22, at No. 119, Kampung Batang Rokan, Gemencheh, and his father, Ismail Awang, 76, grandmother Sufiah Katas, 80, and grandfather Atan Daud, 87, at an unnumbered house in the same village.

The offences were allegedly committed between 7am and 11am on Jan 5. No plea was recorded.

Magistrate Siti Nur Shafrida Hashim fixed Feb 19 for mention after deputy public prosecutor Masri Mohd Daud informed the court that the prosecution was waiting for the chemist’s report. Rasidi was unrepresented.

His mother, Saharah Atan, 59, and her nephew were present in court.

Later, just before he was taken away in a police car, she approached him, wiped his face and patted him on the shoulder while he said: “Whom did you come with? It doesn’t matter... Feb 19 for mention at the Tampin court.” — Bernama
