KOTA BHARU, May 8 — Two youths detained to assist in the investigation into the murder of a female college student, who was found with 61 stab wounds in Kampung Simah, Ketereh, on May 1, have had their remand extended for another seven days.
The remand order against the two 19-year-old suspects was issued by Magistrate Rais Imran Hamid at the Magistrate’s Court here today.
Earlier, both suspects arrived at the court at 8.50am wearing lock-up attire, handcuffed and escorted by police personnel.
The two suspects had previously been remanded for seven days, which ended today, to assist investigations under Section 302.
In the incident on May 1, the body of the female college student was found with 61 stab wounds on a road near a paddy field in Kampung Simah, Ketereh. She is believed to have been killed elsewhere before her body was dumped in the area.
