However, appearing in court on Wednesday, December 8 and in the judge’s chamber, lawyer for the accused stated they were yet to go to a psychiatric hospital for the medical examination.
The presiding judge then directed the accused to be taking to Pantang Hospital for the medical examination.
The case has been adjourned to January 5, 2022.
