Summary:
A padi farmer escaped the gallows when the High Court here judged him to have been insane when committing the murder of a 13-year-old schoolgirl. When delivering the sentence, High Court judge Justice said 48-year-old Wong KoK Ching was found to have committed the offence but was acquitted as he was medically proven to be insane. Wong was charged with the murder of Lim Wan Qing in Kedai Pasar Mini Chui Chak. Deputy public prosecutor said a psychiatrist’s report confirmed that Wong was suffering from schizophrenia and he was not in a mentally stable condition during the day of incident.

Comment:
In my opinion, I think that in this situation, Wong should not be free wherever he wants to go so that nothing dangerous could happen. Besides, for them who are new to town will not know what was actually happen to Wong that he is insane, so Wong's family should handle this well and take full responsibility on this case. n this case, I think Wong should be punished based on what he had done although he is insane so that it is fair for Lim.
