Teen accused of school stabbing planned mass killing, court hears

A court in Malaysia heard evidence on Tuesday that a teenager accused of stabbing a fellow student had documented plans for a more expansive act of violence. Entries from the accused's personal diary suggested he believed classmates were conspiring against him, according to submissions made during proceedings. The diary contents indicated the youth viewed his peers as deserving of death, the court was informed. The case centers on a stabbing incident that occurred at a secondary school, with prosecutors presenting the diary as evidence of premeditation and the accused's state of mind. The teenager remains in custody as the case continues through the Malaysian court system. Details of the victim's condition and the circumstances surrounding the stabbing incident were not disclosed during Tuesday's hearing.
