KUALA LUMPUR – Police have seized two sharp objects believed to have been used in the fatal stabbing of a Form Four student at a school in Bandar Utama earlier today.

Petaling Jaya District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Shamsudin Mamat, confirmed the incident occurred around 9.10am in the girls’ toilet area, after a teacher heard screams from inside.

“Police responded swiftly and arrested a 14-year-old Form Two male student, suspected of being involved in the attack. We also confiscated two sharp weapons believed to have been used in the incident,” he told Scoop when contacted.

The specific types of weapons are yet to be confirmed, pending further forensic investigation.
