A kid with severe schizophrenia isn't a murderer in any meaningful sense, and the law rightly says so under Section 84. The court heard forensic psychiatric evidence, the prosecution couldn't rebut it and the ruling followed the facts. Locking him in a psychiatric hospital until doctors and the Sultan agree he's safe protects the public far better than caging a sick child.
A 16-year-old girl was stabbed to death in a school toilet and nobody is being held accountable for it. A grieving single mother lost the most precious thing in her life and walked out of court with an acquittal instead of justice. The prosecution should hear the family out and pursue every avenue left, because a killing this brutal deserves more than a hospital stay.
