Accused in hospital stabbing case ordered to undergo psychiatric test

Judge Nor Rajiah Mat Zin made the ruling on Tuesday after allowing deputy public prosecutor Wan Nur Iman Wan Ahmad Afzal's request that Mohd Khairul Kamul, 22, be sent to a psychiatric centre because it is believed the accused's mental state is unstable.

The accused, who was wearing a green hospital gown, was charged with intentionally causing serious injury to V. Sathish Rao, 29, using a knife in the Yellow Zone of Selayang Hospital Emergency Department here, at 3.45 pm on Feb 14. Earlier, Mohd Khairul nodded after the charges against him were read out, but the court did not record any plea.

In the proceedings, the accused who was not represented by a lawyer pleaded that he be treated at his sister's house in Batu Caves.
