On Jan 28, 2020, Justice Azman ordered the juvenile, who was 16 when the alleged offence was committed, to enter his defence on the charge after finding that the prosecution had succeeded in establishing a prima facie case against him, who is now 19. According to the amended charge, the teenager, together with another individual who had not been identified, was charged with murdering and causing the death of the 23 inmates at the tahfiz centre at Jalan Keramat Hujung, Kampung Datuk Keramat, Wangsa Maju here, between 4.15am and 6.45am on Sept 14, 2017.

Section 94 of the same law also empowers the court to order the parents or guardians of the child offender to pay fine or compensation. While the teenager in his defence denied that he was in the tahfiz’s compound at any time during the commission of the offence.
