00:00 A 26-year-old part-time model has been charged with killing her lover.
00:05 A Tamil Selvi was accused of killing V. Gowsigan, aged 26, at a house in Rimbayu, Perennia,
00:12 in Teluk Panglima Garang, Kuala Langat, at around 5.30 am on March 11.
00:18 She nodded to indicate that she understood the charge when it was read out before Magistrate
00:22 Maslinda Selamat on Friday.
00:25 No plea was recorded as murder cases come under the purview of the High Court.
00:30 The former medical student was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code and faces the
00:36 death sentence or up to 40 years in jail with no fewer than 12 strokes of the cane, if found
00:42 guilty.
00:43 Her lawyer, Ethan Tan, requested for his client be referred to a hospital for mental evaluation,
00:49 claiming that she was suffering from bipolar disorder and had trouble recalling incidents
00:54 on the day in question.
00:56 He added that his client has heart disease and needs a pacemaker.
01:01 Deputy Public Prosecutor Khadijah Amir Hamza did not offer any bail as the offence was
01:06 non-bailable.
01:08 She also said there was no documented evidence from the defence of either bipolar disorder
01:13 or heart disease.
01:16 Magistrate Maslinda rejected the defence application and ordered Tan to produce documents on the
01:21 mental and physical health of the accused at the next mention of the case on April 25.
01:27 She also asked for the toxicology, post-mortem, chemical and medical reports to be produced
01:33 in court on that date.
01:35 It was reported on March 12 that a photographer died after allegedly being stabbed by his
01:41 lover.
01:42 It is believed the incident was triggered by jealousy as the woman thought the deceased
01:46 was being unfaithful.
01:48 She was arrested in the vicinity of Hospital Cyberjaya at around 12.30pm on March 11 when
01:55 she brought the victim there for treatment.
01:58 Attempts by doctors to revive him through CPR failed.
