Teen claims trial to raping student in school store
The sessions court in Kota Bharu set June 26 for mention of the case. (File pic) KOTA BHARU : A teenager pleaded not guilty in the sessions court here today to a charge of raping a 15-year-old female student in the store room of a secondary school in Kuala Krai in April last year. The 18-year-old was charged under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code, but as the accused was a minor at the time of the alleged offence, sentencing provisions under Section 91 of the Child Act 2001 will apply. Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Faiz Fitri Mohamad proposed bail at RM15,000, while defence counsel Wan Norfarhan Liyana Wan Baharunddin requested a lower amount, saying that the teen's parents worked as daily-wage labourers. She also informed the court that the accused was scheduled to begin matriculation studies next month. Judge Zulkifli Abllah allowed bail at RM5,000 with a condition that the accused does not tamper with prosecution witnesses. He also fixed June 26 for mention of the case.
