According to The Star, the jobless Lee nodded when the charge under Section 302 of the Penal Code was read out to him, but did not enter a plea as the case would be transferred to the High Court. Lee is alleged to have killed his aunt, 54-year-old Lee Huey Ting between Nov 6 and Nov 10 at No 20, Jalan Pengkalan Barat 25, Taman Puteri Lindungan Bintang, Kinta. Previously, acting Perak deputy police chief Zulkafli Sariaat told a press conference that Lee was believed to have lost his temper with his aunt, claiming she was overbearing.
