ByEnigma 808

Police are still awaiting the autopsy report to confirm the exact number of stab wounds sustained by 16-year-old Yap Shing Xuen, who was killed in a school stabbing in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya. Yap’s mother, Wong Lee Ping, shared that a pathologist told her family that her daughter had over 200 stab wounds, mostly on the right side of her body.

Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Shamsudin Mamat confirmed that there were multiple stab wounds, but did not yet have the autopsy report. He also mentioned that a mental health assessment for the 14-year-old suspect would take place after he is charged and a court directive is given.

The incident occurred on October 14 when the suspect allegedly stabbed Yap to death in a schoolgirl’s toilet. The suspect is currently remanded for one week as part of the murder investigation.

Yap’s wake service is being held at the Nirvana Center in Kuala Lumpur and will continue until Sunday night, with the funeral and cremation scheduled for Monday morning at Nirvana Crematorium in Shah Alam.
