Armed with a samurai sword and fuelled by alcohol, Feizal Abu Bakar went to confront a neighbour he suspected of reporting him for drug consumption.
As the man was not in, his wife bore the brunt of Feizal's anger. Ms Wirdawati Che Muning, 36, suffered cuts and abrasions on her head, back and limbs.
In a district court on Monday, Feizal admitted to hurting the housewife with a weapon. The 28-year-old delivery man also pleaded guilty to assaulting his own wife, in contravention of a personal protection order taken out against him. He will be sentenced on July 9 as he wanted time to prepare arguments for a lighter sentence.
A district court heard that a resident called the police after hearing screams, and seeing Feizal, sword in hand, standing over his bleeding victim at 7.15pm on Jan 7 earlier this year on the first-storey corridor of a block of flats in Boon Lay Drive. Police seized three other ceremonial samurai swords exhibited in Feizal's living room.
