A REAL estate agent suspected of stabbing his female acquaintance in the neck in a car in Titi Gajah in Alor Setar on May 17 arrived at the Sessions Court this morning to be charged.
The 32-year-old man was taken to the Alor Setar Court Complex in a police van at about 8.36 am.
He is expected to be charged under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder.
It was previously reported that a woman who is a single mother of two children was seriously injured in the neck after being stabbed by a male acquaintance in a car in front of a restaurant in Jalan Titi Gajah at about 9.19 pm on May 17.
The stabbing incident occurred in a Mazda car with the victim in the driver's seat, while the suspect was in the front passenger seat.
The suspect, who fled the scene after the incident, was arrested while hiding in a mosque in Taman Uda at about 1.50 am on May 18.
The suspect and the victim are said to have known each other for over a year because they each work as real estate agents.
The motive for the incident is believed to be jealousy or unrequited love.
A Rambo knife suspected of being used in the incident was found by police in a rice field about 200 metres from the location of the incident after being guided to the location by the suspect. – May 26, 2026
