A NIGHT before the fatal attack at a school in Bandar Utama, the suspect had apparently confessed his feelings to the victim who rejected him as she did not feel the same way.
According to a student who witnessed the incident, the 14-year-old suspect cornered the victim in the school's female toilet before attacking her in one of the cubicles.
Reports in The New Straits Times said the suspect was armed with sharp objects and had held the 16-year-old victim hostage before attacking her.
The victim's friends ran to find a teacher who then rushed to the toilet and tried to kick the door down.
After several attempts, she managed to break it open, but the boy ran off and began chasing other students with the knife.
"There was panic all over and the suspect apparently burst into other classrooms with the blood-stained weapon.
"Everyone just started screaming and running outside. His shirt was covered in blood," the student said.
The commotion only ended when the suspect's elder brother and several teachers managed to restrain him and seize the knife.
"His brother managed to grab the knife after struggling with him. The teachers were trying to calm him down," the witness added.
The student claimed that, from what she had heard, the suspect became enraged after his confession was rejected.
"We were told that he confessed to her the night before and got mad when she didn't feel the same way," the student added. - October 14, 2025
