Teen told schoolmate that he liked her before fatal stabbing

A 15-year-old teenager fatally stabbed his 16-year-old schoolmate at a school in Bandar Utama last year, according to the grounds of judgement by High Court judge Adlin Abdul Majid. The boy had reportedly watched the girl heading for the toilet during an examination before following her there. He confronted the deceased at knifepoint, locked her in a cubicle, and began stabbing her, inflicting a large number of stab and incise wounds.

An autopsy report recorded around 180 to 200 stab wounds total, leading to the girl's death from multiple stab wounds to the neck and chest. The boy was acquitted of murder due to being found to be of unsound mind during the incident and was instead detained and treated at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta in Perak.
