The Kuala Pilah Magistrates' Court authorised the extended remand after Negeri Sembilan police chief Alzafny Ahmad filed the application during proceedings held on Wednesday morning.
The move comes as investigators continue their examination of circumstances surrounding the student's death. Police have not disclosed additional details regarding the nature of the ongoing investigations or the charges the suspect may face.
The extension allows authorities additional time to gather evidence and conduct further inquiries into the case. The suspect remains in police custody pending the completion of investigations.
Families and community members have expressed concerns over the incident, with authorities urging the public to allow the investigative process to proceed without interference. Police have appealed for anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist with the inquiry.
