  "account": "On October 15, a 20-year-old Chinese university student, Chen Jun, appeared at the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur, denying charges of causing grievous hurt by stabbing his ex-girlfriend and her younger brother. The incident allegedly occurred at a residence in Taman Sri Bintang, Kepong, on September 29, with the attack taking place at 5 am. Chen Jun is accused of stabbing Leong Kai Ting, 21, and Leong Shun Jie, 18, with a knife capable of causing death, under Section 326 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence and potential fine or caning. Deputy public prosecutor Nurainizatul Farhana Zainal requested bail not be granted, suggesting an RM8,000 bail amount with two local sureties and the accused surrendering his passport. Chen Jun's lawyer, Ling Yee Siew, argued that her client, a finance degree student, posed a flight risk and was suffering from depression. The judge granted Chen Jun bail of RM8,000 with two Malaysian sureties, subject to the prosecution's additional conditions, and set the case for a mention on November 11.",
