KUCHING: A woman lodged a police report against her jobless husband after seeing him beat their 10-year-old son unconscious while intoxicated yesterday.

The incident happened around 1pm at the family’s house at Kampung Sungai Duuh in Siburan when the husband got drunk flying into a rage, assaulted his second child.

Following the incident, his wife rushed the boy to a nearby government clinic, which helped to call an ambulance to send the child to Sarawak General Hospital where he regained consciousness upon arrival. According to the mother, her jobless husband had beaten up her son many times in the past after getting drunk.

“He drinks as many as three bottles of ‘langkau’ a day and would often target my son, who is the second of our four children.

“He only abuses this child and not the other children,” she said, adding that yesterday’s beating was the worst so far.

Fearing for her son’s safety, she decided to lodge a report to save her son from more suffering.
