  "account": "A Rohingya teenager was killed a month after his main suspect claimed to have received instructions from God, according to Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat. The 31-year-old suspect, who is under remand, was arrested at his rented house in Pasir Mas. Five arrests have been made so far, including four people detained on the day of the incident. Preliminary investigations reveal that the suspect, believed to have mental health issues, claimed to have received instructions from God a month before the fatal incident last Friday. The suspect, who worked at the same location as the victim, did not engage in a struggle during the murder; instead, the victim was sitting around before the suspect suddenly attacked him with a slashing motion to the neck. Police are conducting a detailed investigation into the suspect's UNHCR card, suspected to be fake due to three cards with matching dates of birth but different years.",
