The boyfriend's 2nd ex-wife's story

As mentioned in my previous post, my wife's (now ex-wife) boyfriend had two wives. He divorced both of them during my ex-wife's affair with him.

On 9 September 2009, he attacked and injured his 2nd ex-wife (let's call her "S") for alledgedly divulging personal information about him to a private investigator.

According to S, she knew nothing of the affair and had no clue why she was divorced. She reckons that my ex-wife's boyfriend was extremely embarassed after realising that she finally knew that he was cheating on her. Hence the attack.

After the incident, he lodged a police report alleging that he was attacked by S. He then boarded a flight to Jakarta and returned 3 days later. He was seen by various people healthy and without injury.

Due to the injuries suffered, S had to be carried to the car and taken to the police station. After looking at her condition, the police advised her to seek medical treatment first. Later that evening, she lodged a police report. She had to be on crutches for 2 weeks.

As she was terrified of further attacks, she decided to stay with her sister in Shah Alam. Obviously, her two small children went with her.

Upon his return from Jakarta and after learning that S had lodged a police report against him, he suddenly developed injuries. He turned up at the police station with bruises on his foot and scratches on his arms.

About a week after the incident, my wife's (now ex-wife) boyfriend went to Mahkamah Syariah Tinggi Shah Alam and obtained an ex-parte Interim Custody Order for his children. He did exactly what I did! It is obvious that my ex-wife and her lawyer(s) may have prompted him to do that.

His application was on grounds that

1. S is a violent person who had injured him; and
2. S had run away with the children and denied him access.

In the mean time, the police conducted an investigation for the assault pursuant to Section 323 of the Penal Code.

The investigation was concluded in March 2010. The case against him was dropped on grounds that

1. It was a merely a husband and wife domestic dispute; and
2. Both parties were injured during the incident

The 2nd ex-wife then lodged an appeal at the Attoney General's Chambers as well as the IPD Petaling Jaya. After another round of review, the case was again dropped. We later learned that the case was dropped on the following grounds

1. Based on the Government hospital's medical report, the injury sustained was not serious. Even though S was on crutches for 2 weeks, the hospital's assessment was that S merely sustained bruises. The police were reluctant to act on bruises;
2. The police was of the view that the 2nd ex-wife had a motive, i.e. to discredit her ex-husband because of the child custody proceedings

So it would seem that if you attacked (and injured) someone, all you have to do is to fake your own injury and lodge a police report against the victim. Also try to ensure that the victim only suffers from bruises. Small minor scratches are acceptable. You should also "fabricate" a motive in case the victim lodges a police report against you. If you are or were once married with that person, it will be much easier. The police and the Deputy Public Prosecutors will be quick to classify it as a domestic matter. Cool eh?
