SHAH ALAM: A foreign student who allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend in the neck has claimed trial at the Sessions Court here.
Chinese national You Wei, 22, was accused of causing grievous hurt by using a weapon to Wu Jalin, 20, on the second floor of a private university in Subang Jaya at 6.30pm on July 14.
According to the charge sheet, You stabbed Wu, also a Chinese national, on the left side of her neck with a knife, which could have caused death.
The charge, under Section 326 of the Penal Code, was read out to him in English before judge Norazlin Othman on Monday (July 21).
If convicted, You faces a jail term of up to 20 years and a fine or whipping.
DPP Nurul Sofea Jaysal did not propose any bail for the accused pending an Immigration Department review. His passport is valid until Oct 31, 2026.
In mitigation, You's counsel Revin Kumar said his client had a mental health condition.
"He receives bipolar disorder treatment at a private clinic," said Revin, adding You had been remanded for seven days since his detention on July 14.
The court then granted You bail of RM20,000 with two sureties and to report once a month.
He was also ordered to surrender his passport to the court and not to harass the victim or any prosecution witness.
Norazlin then set Sept 17 for case mention.
