The complainant learned about the incident from a phone call from her cousin.
The suspect, who is the victim’s biological son, lives in front of an unnumbered house in Kampung Melampai.
“On the day of the incident, at 11.39am, the mother was having breakfast and could not finish her food, which led to a reprimand from the suspect.
“This escalated into a verbal argument, and the suspect slapped the victim several times and struck her hand, resulting in bruised eyes and a broken arm,” Ismail said.
