Fatal school stabbing: Police to extend suspect's remand tomorrow

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — The police will apply for an extension of the remand order, which expires tomorrow, against a male student believed to be involved in the fatal stabbing of a 16-year-old female schoolmate at a school in Bandar Utama on Tuesday (October 14).

Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Shamsudin Mamat said the 14-year-old would be brought to the Petaling Jaya Magistrate’s Court tomorrow for the purpose.

“So far, the police have recorded statements of 148 individuals to assist in the investigation,” he said in a statement today.
