Petaling jaya: Police have confirmed that the sharp weapons seized from a 14-year-old suspect involved in the fatal stabbing of a 16-year-old female student at a school in Bandar Utama were purchased online.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Selangor Police Chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar stated that the weapons, consisting of two knives and a kerambit, were acquired by the suspect some time ago. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact date of purchase. A preliminary post-mortem report revealed that the cause of death was due to multiple stabs to the chest and neck, though only one knife was used in the attack.

Shazeli clarified that the case does not involve bullying, and the suspect does not have a prior disciplinary record at school. He mentioned that social media influence and emotional triggers are being considered as potential factors in the suspect's actions, with investigations underway to identify the specific platforms accessed by the suspect.

Police have recorded statements from 57 individuals, including teachers, students, and family members of both the victim and suspect, as well as school counsellors. The suspect has been remanded for seven days, and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
