KUALA LUMPUR: Two siblings who were remanded following the death of their mother were sent for a month-long psychiatric evaluation at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta (HBUK) today.

The authorities found out about the incident when they were alerted by a neighbour and sought the assistance of firemen to break open the door of the apartment.
The siblings were then remanded for six days to assist in the probe of the murder of their mother.
Chong said a magistrate issued the remand order at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital where the siblings were undergoing a battery of tests with psychiatrists.
