  "account": "The High Court has scheduled September 14 to rule in the case of a 15-year-old boy charged with stabbing a fellow 16-year-old student at Bandar Utama's secondary school. The boy's lawyer, Kitson Foong, requested the court to consider both acquittal and indefinite hospital detention for the teen. Dr Ian Lloyd Anthony, a forensic psychiatrist, testified that the boy's mental illness began at age nine and went untreated for five years. The defense sought a qualified acquittal under Section 347 of the Criminal Procedure Code, with a specific order for safe custody under Section 348. Both the prosecution and defense argued in their submissions that the boy was sane and aware of his actions.",
  "summary": "SHAH ALAM: The High Court has fixed Sept 14 to deliver its decision in the case of a 15-year-old boy charged with murdering his 16-year-old schoolmate at a secondary school in Bandar Utama last year.",
