Carpenter in restaurant attack case sent for psychiatric assessment
KUALA LUMPUR: A carpenter charged with causing grievous hurt to a businessman in a restaurant attack has been ordered to undergo a month-long psychiatric assessment at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta.
A carpenter, Wong Weng Luen, has been ordered to undergo a month-long psychiatric evaluation following a restaurant attack in which he and two accomplices allegedly assaulted a businessman, Andrew Teh, with dangerous weapons. Sessions Court Judge Noridah Adam made the order last week after defense lawyer Mohd Ruzaini Zulkifli requested the assessment on behalf of Wong, 49.
The court has set a follow-up on September 17. Wong, along with technician Lai Kae Bin and memorial centre worker Wen Ken Fei, 30, are also seeking to review their bail denial in the High Court, with a hearing scheduled for August 26. The trio are currently detained at Sungai Buloh Hospital, while the victim's safety and access to justice remain a priority for Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng.
