At a press conference held at her daughter’s wake, Wong Lee Ping said most of the wounds were concentrated on the right side of the body.

She also appealed to the public to stop spreading misinformation about the case, especially claims that the victim was sexually assaulted before her death.

“Police said the suspect climbed over the toilet cubicle where my daughter had locked herself in and began stabbing her.

“My daughter shouted for help and the suspect jumped out of the cubicle (but) it was already too late when the teacher managed to force the door open.

“My daughter and the suspect did not know each other before this. Stop spreading false information, my daughter is already a victim,” she said.

Wong also expressed hope that such a tragedy would never befall any parent again, and that all children would remain safe and secure in schools.

She urged school authorities and students to be more vigilant in preventing dangerous objects from being brought onto school grounds.

“Students who notice any dangerous items should immediately inform their teachers or the school administration,” she said.

The victim’s stepfather, How Boon Chin, also questioned the safety measures in place at the school, noting that the suspect had managed to bring weapons onto the premises undetected.

“If the school can stop students from bringing mobile phones, why can’t it prevent someone from bringing in a knife?” he asked.

The victim was stabbed to death at SMK Bandar Utama Damansara (4) at around 9.30am on Tuesday morning. Police confiscated two sharp weapons believed to have been used by the 14-year-old suspect, who has been detained.
