Woman charged with killing 16-month-old step-granddaughter

Nurul Farhana Laili Shah, a 39-year-old woman, appeared in Kota Tinggi magistrates court today, charged with the murder of her 16-month-old step-granddaughter, Nur Anggun Dahlia Abdullah. The incident allegedly took place at a residence in Taman Sri Saujana between 12.30pm on July 30 and 9.30am the following day. The charges were brought under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which deals with murder.

At the hearing, Nurul nodded after the charges were read to her, and no plea was entered due to the nature of the case, which falls under the jurisdiction of the High Court. Deputy public prosecutor Nor Afiqah Musa requested that the court set a date for the case to be mentioned again, pending the results of chemical, post-mortem, and DNA tests.

No bail was granted, and the matter was scheduled for re-mention on December 11. Nurul's legal representatives, Lidyana Mansor and Farah Yasmin, were present in court.
