The man, stationed in Perak, will be charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

As of 7 am, media practitioners have already gathered outside the court complex to cover the case.

Nur Farah Kartini, 25, a former student of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), was reported missing on July 10 and her body was found in an oil palm plantation in Kampung Sri Keledang, Hulu Bernam here, at about 6 pm five days later.
