“Based on the stab wounds, we believe there were indeed intentions (to kill),” Selangor police chief Shazeli Kahar told reporters after a press conference today.

Shazeli said investigations also revealed that the suspect had feelings for the 16-year-old victim but never expressed them.

“So far, we believe that was the situation. The suspect had feelings towards the victim, but these were not shared with her. The victim was believed to be unaware.”

He added that the two did not personally know each other as they were in different classes and of different ages.

Police have also confirmed the discovery of a handwritten note believed to have been left by the suspect.

The note, which has been widely shared on social media, reportedly contained several references to infamous school shootings in the US.

“The note was found on the suspect during his arrest. We are investigating its contents,” Shazeli said.

Yesterday, a student was stabbed to death at SMK Bandar Utama Damansara (4).

Police said the suspect attacked the victim multiple times with two sharp weapons, both of which were later confiscated by investigators.

Petaling Jaya police chief Shamsudin Mamat said the suspect had been detained and that no one else was harmed in the incident.

He said that while the motive was still under investigation, there were no indications of bullying involved.
