  • A teenage girl accused of stabbing a classmate at a secondary school in Banting, Kuala Langat, will be charged in court tomorrow.
  • The 15-year-old suspect reportedly claimed to be a victim of bullying by friends, including the stabbing victim.
  • Police investigations into the bullying claims, based on initial statements and a viral social media list, have not found evidence to support the allegations.

A teenage girl accused of fatally stabbing a classmate at a secondary school in Banting, Kuala Langat, is scheduled to be charged in the Telok Datok Court tomorrow. The Selangor State Police Headquarters confirmed that the charges will be filed at 8 a.m. on July 10.

The 15-year-old suspect has reportedly claimed she was a victim of bullying by her friends, including the student she allegedly stabbed. This claim was made during initial police investigations while she was in remand.

However, Selangor Police Chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar stated that preliminary findings, based on witness statements and a list of 10 students that went viral on social media, do not support the bullying allegations. Police are continuing their investigation into the incident.

The suspect, a Form Three student, was arrested earlier this week after allegedly stabbing her classmate. She has autism and was granted a four-day remand order by the Magistrate's Court in Telok Datuk to assist with the investigation.
