KUALA LUMPUR: The Selayang Sessions Court has ordered a man who stabbed a patient at Selayang Hospital, to undergo a psychiatric examination at Hospital Bahagia Tanjong Rambutan, Ulu Kinta, Perak.

Judge Nor Rajiah Mat Zin made the ruling on Tuesday (Feb 28) 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.
