Pelajar Tingkatan 4 dituduh bunuh Irene Sofiya

Johor police are awaiting guidance from the Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) before deciding on the next steps in the murder investigation of 16-year-old Irene Sofiya Mohd Khairool Faisal. Inspector Datuk Ab Rahaman Arsad informed reporters that the case is still under review and that official instructions from the DPP's office are required before the remand period ends.

The primary suspect, a 16-year-old male student, is currently held in an extended remand order until Thursday. Irene Sofiya was found unconscious and covered in blood at a school hall in Yong Peng on October 3 and was pronounced dead. Police have seized a 96-centimetre metal bar and a blood-stained sports shirt to aid the investigation, which they believe was motivated by the suspect's resentment towards Irene due to his romantic rejection and her relationship with his close friend.
