He could not bear seeing his girlfriend with a new beau, so he stabbed her thrice. The couple, both 15--years--old, had been dating for three years.
In the 4pm incident which occurred at the ground floor of PPR Taman Dato Senu in Bandar Baru Sentul last Friday, the girl confronted her boyfriend to break up with him, as she was already seeing someone new.
Sentul district police chief, ACP Zakaria Pagan said during the confrontation, the girl's new boyfriend, also aged 15, was present.
"It started out with a quarrel, but things turned ugly when the boy suddenly took out a kitchen knife and stabbed the girl," he said.
The girl was stabbed thrice -- on her hip, abdomen and her back. Before the girl collapsed, she managed to scream for help to alert neighbours.
"The boy panicked and and went into hiding. The girl was rushed to Kuala Lumpur Hospital by her neighbours."
Zakaria said when police visited the flats, they managed to detain two of the suspect's friends who were living there. The duo led police to the suspect's house in the same area.
"The suspect's family has been notified of the incident, but since the fight the suspect has not returned home. We believe he is in hiding.
"However, the family managed to contact the suspect and pleaded with him to surrender. The suspect turned himself in at the Sentul police station on Tuesday evening," said Zakaria.
He is under a seven--day remand to facilitate investigation for causing grievous hurt with a dangerous weapon.
The victim managed to recuperate from her injuries and was discharged on Monday.
She had not been going to school for several weeks prior to the incident as she was seeking placement in a school nearby.
