Rule Changes

Deceased, age 16

A Malaysian court on Monday acquitted a 15-year-old boy of murdering his schoolmate, ruling he was legally insane when he stabbed 16-year-old Yap Shing Xuen in a school toilet. The Shah Alam High Court ordered the teenager to Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, a psychiatric facility in Perak, where he will be treated and held at the pleasure of the Sultan of Selangor.
