KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - A delivery boy was sentenced to five months' imprisonment by the magistrate court here, after he was found guilty of stabbing his girlfriend's abdomen with a keris, in a fight that spun out of control.

Magistrate Aizatul Akmal Maharani handed down the ruling on Norazmil Kamarzuman, 26, after finding him guilty of causing hurt to Mastura Omar, 30, using a keris, a weapon capable of causing death, in his home in Bandar Baru Sentul.

During the fight, Norazmil was said to have slapped, kicked and punched Mastura's face, while she begged him to stop.

However, instead of halting his assault on her, he withdrew a keris from his bag and stabbed her in the stomach with it.

Mastura then tried to escape but was prevented from doing so by Norazmil, but he later rushed her to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where he was arrested.
