SHAH ALAM: The 14-year-old male suspect could have been influenced by emotion and  social media prior to the fatal stabbing of his 16-year-old female school mate.

police chief Comm Datuk Shazeli Kahar said initial investigation revealed that emotion  and social media could have influenced the suspect before the attack took place

“We are still investigating further.

“So far the suspect had no prior disciplinary infringements at the school,” he told reporters at the state police headquarters on Wednesday (Oct 15).

He said investigations have not found that the suspect was suffering from any mental illness.

“However, we will send him for psychiatric evaluation once the investigation is completed and the investigation paper has been referred to the deputy public prosecutor,” he said.
