KUANTAN, Oct 28 (Bernama) -- A housewife was sentenced to 20 months' jail by the Magistrate Court here on Wednesday after she pleaded guilty to two counts of abusing her two stepchildren about two weeks ago.
Magistrate Nor Zaihan Mohamad Ali ordered Noraini Yusoff, 40, from Batu 8 Jalan Gambang here, to serve the sentence from the date of her arrest on Oct 22.
Noraini was charged with two counts of abusing her step-children, the first, an 11-year-old girl , by beating, pinching and biting her in a house at Batu 8, Jalan Gambang here at about 3pm on Oct 16 .
On the second count, she was charged with committing a similar offence on a nine-year-old boy at the same place at about 8am on Oct 22.
In mitigation, Noraini, who was unrepresented, said she had acted such due to domestic problems and requested not to be sent to jail as she had a five-year-old child, from her marriage to the father of the two abused children, to take care of.
Deputy public prosecutor Mahadi Abdul Jumaat prosecuted.
