  "summary": "A court has been told that a woman admitted to fatally stabbing her ex-girlfriend while speaking to a new prison lover. According to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, police were able to listen to the admission via a hidden microphone.\n\nIn a separate legal matter, Datuk Seri Najib Razak is set to file a fresh application at the Court of Appeal to stay his 15-year jail sentence regarding the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) case. The New Straits Times reports that High Court judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin dismissed a previous bid for a stay, ruling that the defendant failed to establish special circumstances. Lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah stated the defense believes there are sufficient grounds for a stay pending the appeal against the conviction and sentence.\n\nAdditionally, the Court of Appeal has unanimously set aside a RM1.1 million damages award related to alleged negligence in the investigation into the death of Dutch model Ivana Smit. The Vibes reports that Christina Verstappen is considering a final legal challenge to the Federal Court after the court allowed the government's appeal against a previous Kuala Lumpur High Court ruling. Lawyer Datuk Sankara Nair stated the family remains convinced that accountability is necessary regarding the conduct of public authorities.",
