  "account": "In a case involving the alleged murder of a woman by her boyfriend, the court has set a deadline for the prosecution to secure the autopsy report. Magistrate Mustaqim Sukarno has given the prosecution until October 30 to obtain the post-mortem report. Deputy public prosecutor Nur Shahzleen Ibrahim informed the court that this document is the only outstanding piece of evidence. The investigating officer had previously submitted a second request for the report on August 24. So far, the prosecution has received the CCTV recording, but the autopsy report remains missing.\n\nThe accused, unemployed Lim Chee Seong, 44, is facing charges of murdering his girlfriend, Lim Bee Lan, 41, a salon worker. The crime allegedly took place at a residence in Jalan Damai 2, Taman Damai 11, between 10pm on January 26 and 11am the following day. Lim was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which prescribes the death penalty or a sentence of 30 to 40 years in prison, with up to 12 strokes of the cane if the death penalty is not imposed. The motive for the alleged murder is believed to be jealousy, with Lim suspecting that the victim may have been involved with another man.\n\nThe incident came to light when Bee Lan's family could not reach her, leading to a search that resulted in police and firefighters breaking into the two-story terrace house. Lim, found critically injured beside the victim, had reportedly attempted suicide by slashing his neck and left wrist with a sharp object.",
