  "account": "DAP's Teo Nie Ching called on the Attorney-General's Chambers to hold an immediate meeting with the family of a teenager who was stabbed to death at a school in Bandar Utama. The 15-year-old boy was acquitted of murder and was found to be of unsound mind at the time of the crime. Teo emphasized the importance of explaining the legal reasoning behind the court's decision and the implications of the psychiatric detention under Section 348 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The DAP leader stressed that justice should be comprehensible to those who have lost loved ones. Yesterday, the victim's mother, Wong Lee Ping, appealed for the public to support a petition requesting the AGC to appeal the acquittal. The Shah Alam High Court found the accused mentally unfit to stand trial, but ordered him to be detained at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, where he will receive treatment.",
  "summary": "Wanita DAP chief Teo Nie Ching says it is vital for the prosecution to exercise compassionate criminal justice by addressing several key aspects with the victim’s family.",
