  "account": "A 37-year-old bread seller named Abadi Mohd Yasro has been charged with the murder of his five-year-old niece in Johor Bahru last week, according to court documents. The incident occurred in Sungai Sedili Besar, Kota Tinggi around 8:20 am on September 21st. Abadi admitted to the charges presented before Judge Nur Najihah Hamidi, who is presiding over the case at the Kota Tinggi High Court. He is accused of violating Section 302 of the Penal Code, which prescribes the death penalty if the crime is proven. If not sentenced to death, the defendant could face up to 40 years in prison and a fine of RM 12,000. However, there is no recorded confession due to the case falling under the jurisdiction of the High Court, as reported by Berita Harian. According to the complaint, Abadi is accused of killing Puteri Nur Afiyah Qalesya Mustafa at the Sungai Sedili Besar river in Kota Tinggi. The prosecution is led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan Nuraini Mohd Shapee, while the defendant has no legal representation. The court has set November 26th for the case to be remanded for a health examination at Hospital Permai Johor Bahru and a forensic report.",
