Remaja autistik didakwa bunuh ibu diarah jalani rawatan psikiatri
Majistret Azlin Zeti Zainal Abidin mengeluarkan perintah itu selepas remaja terbabit dilihat tidak faham pertuduhan dibacakan.
A 15-year-old autistic boy was ordered by the Kuala Kangsar High Court to undergo psychiatric treatment at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta following his alleged murder of his 49-year-old mother, Nor Ainon Omar, on September 23rd. The judgment was made by Judge Azlin Zeti Zainal Abidin under Section 342 of the Penal Code, after the court found the defendant did not understand the charges presented to him.
The accused's confession was not recorded, according to Berita Harian. The charges against him were made under Section 304 of the Penal Code, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 30 years and a fine. The prosecutor, Nur Mirza Zulaikha Mohd Fadzly, argued for a new hearing date within a month, following the psychiatric report of the accused, who also has a psychiatric record. No legal representation was provided for the defendant.
