PETALING JAYA: The parents of the murdered autistic boy, Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin, were seen entering the court complex this morning under police escort at 9.12am.
Represented by counsels Fahmi Abd Moin and Mahmud Jumaat, the couple has been brought in for court proceedings where they are expected to face charges today.
Fahmi confirmed this earlier, indicating that both parents would be formally charged.
Yesterday, the counsels objected to the police’s application under Section 26(1) of the Evidence Act to record a guilty plea from the mother before a magistrate.
Today marks the conclusion of the remand order against the couple, whose son was found dead near a river at their home in Damansara Damai on December 6 last year.
Initially, the magistrate’s court had granted a seven-day remand order on June 1, which was subsequently extended by six more days.
The post-mortem confirmed that Zayn Rayyan had been killed, revealing injuries to his neck and body.
