Kuala lumpur: A female masseuse charged with posting a video and image of a fake marriage certificate purportedly between herself and a royal family member has been found fit to stand trial. Deputy public prosecutor Izzat Amir Idham informed the Sessions Court of the matter today during the mention of the case involving Persana Avril Sollunda, 43, before Judge Suhaila Haron.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, 'Based on the forensic psychiatric medical report, the accused is fit to plead and stand trial in this court. The prosecution will call six witnesses to testify,' said Izzat Amir. The accused's lawyer, Jefvinder Singh, informed the court that the defence will review all relevant case documents, including the psychiatric report, before submitting a representation.

Suhaila subsequently set the trial dates for Dec 3 to 5, with a further case mention scheduled for Oct 13. On July 22, the court ordered the accused to undergo a one-month psychiatric examination at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, Tanjung Rambutan, Perak, following the granting of an application by the prosecution to obtain a report on her mental health.

Persana Avril is accused of creating and initiating a post of an image within a video on TikTok via the account 'king.charles.ratu'. The post, dated Feb 25, allegedly depicted a fake marriage certificate between a member of the royal family and Crown Princess Ratu Shana, with the intent to annoy others. The post was accessed at the Cyber and Multimedia Crime Investigation Division, Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department at 10.00 am on Feb 26.

She was charged under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which carries a maximum fine of RM500,000 or imprisonment of up to two years, or both upon conviction. A further fine of RM5,000 may also be imposed for every day the offence persists after conviction.
