KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 — The suspect, who attacked a salesgirl and a headmistress with a knife in the toilet of a surau in Kelana Jaya last Friday, will be charged at the Petaling Jaya Magistrate’s Court this Monday.
Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Shahrulnizam Ja’afar said that the 46-year-old man will be charged in court following instructions from the deputy public prosecutor.
