  "account": "On September 29, a 20-year-old Chinese student named Chen Jun appeared in Kuala Lumpur's sessions court to face two charges of causing grievous hurt. Chen allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend, Leong Kai Ting, 21, and her younger brother, Leong Shun Jie, 18, with a knife at a house in Taman Sri Bintang, Kepong, early in the morning. The charges stem from Section 326 of the Penal Code, which carries a potential 20-year prison sentence, fine, or caning. Prosecutors did not seek bail for Chen, arguing the crimes are non-bailable. If granted bail, it would be set at RM8,000 with two local sureties and the accused surrendering his passport. Chen's lawyer, Ling Yee Siew, requested a lower bail amount, citing her client's pursuit of a finance degree and a medical report indicating depression. The lawyer also mentioned Chen's leg injury from self-harm, seeking treatment for the injury. Judge Suhaila Haron granted Chen bail of RM8,000 with two Malaysian sureties, subject to prosecution conditions, and set the next court date for November 11.",
  "summary": "Chen Jun is accused of committing the offences at a house in Taman Sri Bintang, Kepong, at 5am on Sept 29.",
