SINGAPORE : With investigations still ongoing, prosecutors yesterday applied for a week's extension before going ahead with the trial of Mohammad Johan Rashid, 31, who is accused of the murder of a six-year-old.
He is being held at the Central Police Division and will appear in court again on Thursday for a trial date.
Mohammad Johan made headlines last week when he was charged in court for the alleged murder of Muhammad Nor Rashidy Rahmat, also known as Edy.
Mohammad Johan had been hired about a month ago by Edy's family to take him to and from school.
When the boy did not return home on Nov 18, his grandmother filed a police report a few days later.
An islandwide search ensued, and Mohammad Johan was arrested at a Geylang hotel on Nov 25.
Edy's decomposed body was found stuffed into a bag by the bank of the Kallang River later that day. - TODAY
