Remaja diperintah bela diri dalam kes bunuh pelajar Bandar Utama

On August 3rd, a trial for the murder of a 16-year-old schoolmate at a school in Bandar Utama began at the Shah Alam High Court. The accused, a 15-year-old male teenager, was charged with self-defense, according to New Straits Times. The trial proceeded in a closed session due to the juvenile nature of the perpetrator. The accused was accused of killing the victim at SMK Bandar Utama (4) on October 14th, 2025.

He was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which could result in the death penalty or imprisonment of 30-40 years and a minimum of 12 lashes if found guilty. However, Section 97(1) of the Children's Act 2001 states that the death penalty cannot be imposed on minors under 18 years of age. The prosecution was led by Deputy Prosecutor Raja Zaizul Faridah Raja Zaharudin, accompanied by defense lawyers Chew Jee San, Angel Choo, and Yan Zhi Wei.

Yasmeen Shariff and Jason Lim also appeared as observers for the Malaysian Bar Council and Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam).
