Mohamad Khairul Azmi Ithnin, 32, nodded to indicate he understood the charge when it was read before magistrate Lee Kim Keat.

The prosecution also applied for Khairul to be referred to Hospital Permai in Johor Baru for psychiatric evaluation under Section 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The court allowed the application and denied bail. The case has been fixed for mention on July 8 to allow time for the completion of the pathology and DNA reports. Earlier, the accused's parents and siblings were seen in court as the charge was read out. Investigations revealed the incident was triggered by a verbal dispute over past issues. The accused had allegedly attacked his wife , a clerk at a palm oil collection centre, using a kitchen knife, fatally slashing her neck. He then drove about 40km to his mother-in-law's house in Kampung Durian Chondong, where he set several vehicles on fire and attempted to torch the house. The arson attempt was foiled when a family member raised the alarm. The murder only came to light when the accused called his brother-in-law to take him to the police station, where he allegedly confessed. Police later discovered the victim's body wrapped in a thick blanket at their home, along with a bloodstained knife. Police confirmed the accused had a prior conviction for mischief under Section 427 in 2017, for which he was fined RM1,800.
