Foreign student claims trial to stabbing ex-girlfriend, brother
KUALA LUMPUR: A university student from China pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court today to two charges of causing grievous hurt to his former girlfriend and her brother in a stabbing incident last month.
A Chinese university student, Chen Jun, pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur to two charges of causing grievous hurt to his former girlfriend, Leong Kai Ting, and her 18-year-old brother, Shun Jie, in a stabbing incident that took place at a house in Taman Sri Bintang, Kepong, on September 29. The charges, which carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail, were framed under Section 326 of the Penal Code.
Chen, who appeared in a wheelchair, entered his pleas in Mandarin before Judge Suhaila Haron. His lawyer, Ling Yee Siew, argued for minimal bail, citing her client's depression and the need for treatment. The court granted bail at RM8,000 with two local sureties and ordered Chen's passport to be impounded. The next mention is scheduled for November 11.
