Two 16-year-old boys were charged at the Kuala Lumpur high court with murdering 21 students and two teachers of the Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah Tahfiz school in September, last year. The duo pleaded not guilty after the 23 charges were read to them one by one by the court interpreter before justice Datuk Azman Abdullah. They were charged together with murdering and causing the death of 23 occupants of the tahfiz school's hostel located on Jalan Keramat Hujung, Kampung Datuk Keramat, in Kuala Lumpur, between 4.15am and 6.45am on September 14, 2017. The charge, under Section 302 of the Penal Code, provides for a mandatory death penalty upon conviction. The court reminded the media not to disclose the identities and personal information of the two accused as they were juvenile delinquents. The court set February 19 for re-mention.
