SHAH ALAM. SELANGOR, MALAYSIA Oct 15, 2025 – A 14-year-old male student has been detained and remanded for seven days in connection with the tragic death of a 16-year-old female student at a secondary school in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor Police Chief CP Dato’ Pahlawan Shazeli bin Dato’ Kahar confirmed today.
A press conference was held this morning at the Senior Police Officers’ Meeting Room at the Selangor Contingent Police Headquarters (IPK) to update on the shocking case. The victim was confirmed dead at the scene due to severe injuries, while the suspect – also a student from the same school – was arrested immediately after the incident.
According to Shazeli, the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. “The investigation is being conducted thoroughly, including recording statements from 57 witnesses, reviewing CCTV footage, and examining the backgrounds of both students,” he said.
Initial investigation findings indicate no elements of bullying behind the incident. The suspect and victim also had no prior relationship or interaction before the incident occurred. However, police suggest that emotional impulses and the influence of social media may have been triggering factors in the suspect’s actions, although further investigations are ongoing to confirm additional details.
Present at the press conference were Selangor Deputy Police Chief DCP Mohd Zaini bin Abu Hassan; Selangor Criminal Investigation Department Head SAC Wan Kamarul Azran bin Wan Yusof; Petaling Jaya District Police Chief ACP Shamsuddin bin Mamat; and ASP Ahmad Zarrin bin Abd Rashid from the Criminal Investigation Division at Petaling Jaya Police Headquarters. Also in attendance were senior and junior police officers from the Selangor Criminal Investigation Department, as well as media representatives.
The gravity of this case raises concerns about safety in educational institutions, with police promising full disclosure of investigation results as soon as possible. The suspect’s remand begins today and runs until October 21, 2025.
