KUALA LUMPUR:
A married couple pleaded guilty at the High Court here today to possessing materials related to the Daesh terrorist group.

Fesool Haron, 35, pleaded guilty before Justice K Muniandy to possessing a video recording, 10 video clips and five screenshots related to the terrorist group on his mobile phone.

The offence was committed at the Kempas industrial area in Johor Bahru, Johor, on May 30.

He was charged under Section 130JB(1)(a) of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum prison sentence of seven years or a fine upon conviction.

In a separate High Court, his wife, Suhaini Sarwan, 46, pleaded guilty to three charges of possessing articles and items related to the Daesh group on her mobile phone and laptop before Justice Jamil Hussin.

She committed the offences in Kota Tinggi and the Kempas industrial area, Johor Bahru, between 1.15pm and 4.30pm on May 30.

However, Suhaini claimed trial to two additional charges of supporting the Daesh group via Facebook using the accounts “Suhaini Sarwan” and “Enma Kenma”.

The offences were allegedly committed on May 27 and detected by Bukit Aman’s Special Branch counter terrorism division (E8) at 5.50pm on the same day.

Both charges were framed under Section 130J(1)(a) of the Penal Code, which carries a prison sentence of not more than 40 years or a fine, upon conviction.

The court fixed Dec 11 for Fesool’s sentencing and Jan 9 for Suhaini.
