GEORGE TOWN: A teenager facing a murder charge was sent to jail after her bail was revoked by the Magistrate’s Court here.
Magistrate Jamaliah Abd Manap said the bail was automatically revoked as the case was transferred to the High Court.
She said the conditional bail was initially offered until the case was transferred to the High Court.

“The case has been transferred to the High Court, so the bail no longer stands,” she said in court after hearing arguments from both the deputy public prosecutor and the defence lawyer.
