AGC rayu keputusan mahkamah lepas, bebas remaja bunuh rakan sekolah

The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has filed an appeal with the Malaysian High Court to challenge the decision that acquitted a 15-year-old boy of murdering a female schoolmate at a secondary school in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya last year. The AGC issued the appeal notice to the High Court on Tuesday following the decision by the Shah Alam High Court to acquit and release the teenager.

The teenager was previously charged under Section 302 of the Offences against the Person Act for killing his schoolmate in the school bathroom between 9.20 am and 9.35 am on October 14, 2025. However, the judge, Adlin Abdul Majid, acquitted and released the teenager on September 14, 2025, stating that the accused was not mature enough at the time of the incident.

The High Court, however, ordered the teenager to be placed in the Bahagia Ulu Kinta Hospital in Perak until a certain period determined by the Sultan of Selangor. The victim's mother, Wong Lee Ping, urged the AGC to appeal the High Court's decision before the 14-day deadline expires. She expressed concern over the fairness to the victim and the safety of students in the school.

Wong also requested the AGC to consider her concerns and possibly challenge the decision to allow the case to be reviewed by a higher court.
