Woman charged with killing 16-month-old step-granddaughter
Nurul Farhana Laili Shah is accused of murdering the child at a house in Taman Sri Saujana between July 30 and July 31.
A 39-year-old woman, Nurul Farhana Laili Shah, appeared in the Kota Tinggi magistrates court on July 31, 2023, charged with the alleged murder of her 16-month-old step-granddaughter, Nur Anggun Dahlia Abdullah. Shah nodded in acknowledgment as the charges were read by magistrate Hafizah Abdul Rajak, according to Utusan Malaysia.
No plea was entered as murder cases are under the jurisdiction of the High Court. The charge sheet alleges that Shah killed Nur Anggun between 12:30pm on July 30 and 9:30am on July 31 at a residence in Taman Sri Saujana. The offense is under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Deputy public prosecutor Nor Afiqah Musa requested that the court set a date pending the results of chemical, post-mortem, and DNA tests, with no bail granted.
The court scheduled a re-mention of the case for December 11. Nurul's legal representatives, Lidyana Mansor and Farah Yasmin, attended the hearing.
