Malaysian boy acquitted for murder of schoolgirl on grounds of insanity
The killing of the 16-year-old girl had shocked Malaysia and sparked debate about the effects of social media on children. Police previously had said they suspected social media could have influenced the boy, who was 14 at the time. The trial and verdict hearings were held in a closed court, which meant that the public and media could not attend.
