Ipoh housewife charged over fatal stabbing bedridden mother in Menglembu

A 49-year-old housewife, Chew Loong Thye, has been charged in the Ipoh Magistrate's Court with the murder of her bedridden 70-year-old mother, Ching Lai Kheng, in Menglembu.

The charge, under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which mandates the death penalty or imprisonment of 30-40 years, will be tried in the High Court, and no plea was recorded.

Magistrate Norizan Riduan ordered Chew to undergo a psychiatric evaluation while pathology and toxicology reports are pending.

With no bail offered due to the non-bailable nature of the offense, the case is set for mention on November 22.

IPOH, Oct 2 — A 49-year-old housewife was charged in the Magistrate's Court here today with the murder of her 70-year-old bedridden mother in Menglembu last week.

Chew Loong Thye indicated that she understood the charge after it was read to her in Cantonese before Magistrate Norizan Riduan, NST reported.

No plea was recorded as capital murder offences fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the High Court.

Chew is accused of murdering her mother, Ching Lai Kheng, at a house in Taman Wang, Menglembu, between 7.15pm and 7.30pm on Sept 27.

The charge was framed under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which provides for the death penalty or imprisonment of between 30 and 40 years upon conviction.

During the proceedings, Norizan asked Chew whether she had been regularly taking her prescribed psychiatric medication, to which she answered affirmatively.

The court subsequently ordered Chew to undergo a formal psychiatric evaluation and for an assessment report to be prepared in accordance with Section 342(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Ainin Sofiya Azlaini informed the court that pathology and toxicology reports remain pending and confirmed that no bail was being offered, as murder is a non-bailable offence. Chew was unrepresented.

The court fixed Nov 22 for case mention and the submission of the psychiatric report.

Perak police chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin previously confirmed on Sept 28 that the victim was discovered with a fatal stab wound to her chest. The bedridden victim, who required round-the-clock intensive care, had recently returned to the family home from an elderly care facility in Pusing to be looked after by Chew and her son-in-law.

一名49岁的家庭主妇周龙泰（Chew Loong Thye）在怡保地方法庭被控谋杀其卧床不起的70岁母亲郑丽卿（Ching Lai Kheng），案发地点在孟加兰布。

根据《刑法》第 302 条，该项指控可判处死刑或 30 至 40 年监禁，将在高等法院进行审理，被告没有认罪。

地方法官诺里赞·里杜安下令周某接受精神鉴定，同时等待病理学和毒理学报告。

由于所犯罪行性质不可保释，因此不予保释，该案定于 11 月 22 日开庭审理。

怡保，10月2日讯——一名49岁的家庭主妇今天在怡保地方法庭被控于上周在孟加兰布谋杀了她70岁卧床不起的母亲。

据《新海峡时报》报道，周龙泰在地方法官诺里赞·里端用粤语宣读控状后表示理解控状内容。

由于死刑谋杀罪属于高等法院的专属管辖范围，因此没有记录被告的认罪情况。

周某被控于9月27日晚上7点15分至7点30分之间，在孟加兰邦旺花园的一所房子里谋杀了她的母亲陈丽卿。

该指控依据《刑法》第 302 条提出，该条规定，一经定罪，可判处死刑或 30 至 40 年有期徒刑。

庭审过程中，诺里赞询问周是否一直按时服用医生开具的精神科药物，周回答说是。

随后，法院命令周某接受正式的精神鉴定，并按照《刑事诉讼法》第 342(3) 条的规定准备一份鉴定报告。

副检察官艾宁·索菲亚·阿兹莱尼告知法庭，病理学和毒理学报告尚未出炉，并确认不会准予保释，因为谋杀罪属于不可保释的罪行。被告周某没有律师代表。

法院将11月22日定为案件提审日和提交精神病学报告的日期。

霹雳州警察总长拿督莫哈末·阿维·扎伊纳尔·阿比丁此前于9月28日证实，受害者被发现胸部中刀，伤势致命。这名卧床不起的受害者需要24小时重症监护，她最近刚从普辛的一家养老院回到家中，由周女士及其女婿照顾。

上诉法院维持1万令吉罚款的判决，并提醒乌玛尼前主席言论自由是有界限的。
