KUALA LUMPUR: A psychiatrist told a High Court murder trial yesterday that a 13-year-old boy’s act of stabbing his tuition teacher’s daughter 24 times last May could show that he deliberately wanted to injure her seriously or kill her. 

Dr Toh Chin Lee, a senior consultant in child and adolescent psychiatry attached to Kuala Lumpur Hospital, said he differed with the view of the defence's expert who found the stabbing incident, which happened in the girl’s house, to be purely accidental as the boy had not shown any homicidal intent.
