PASIR PUTEH: A labourer who was charged with murdering his eight-month-old son has been ordered by the Magistrate’s Court here to be sent to Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, in Perak, to determine his mental status.
Magistrate Mohd Dinie Shazwan Ab Shukor made the order following a request by lawyer Muhamad Izwan Ishak, representing Wan Roslan Wan Mustapa, for his client to be sent to the hospital for mental observation.
Muhamad Izwan yesterday also applied to the court to set a date within a month for mention of the case and submission of document, pending the autopsy and psychiatric reports.
