The charge was framed under Section 302 of the Penal Code. The prosecution was conducted by Inspector Jagdeep Singh Jaswant Singh, while the accused was not represented by counsel.
The court fixed July 20 for mention pending document submission and the post-mortem report.
In a related development, the accused is also expected to be charged at the Ipoh Sessions Court today for attempted rape involving his former girlfriend in Seberang Perak, Kampung Gajah.
