2 tahfiz students charged with injuring another with iron

Two tahfiz school students appeared in the Parit Magistrates' Court on charges of injuring a fellow student with an iron on September 19. The 13 and 14-year-old defendants denied the charges when they were read in court. The incident allegedly occurred at 4pm on September 19, when the two students intentionally caused injury to another 13-year-old, likely with the intent to cause death.

They face charges under Section 324 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of up to 10 years imprisonment, a fine, whipping, or any combination thereof. The case is being handled by Deputy Public Prosecutor R Jayasri, while the accused are represented by lawyer Nur Nadrah Badarudin from the National Legal Aid Foundation.

The magistrate set bail at RM500 for each defendant, and the case has been set for a further mention on October 27.
