PETALING JAYA: Counsel Fahmi Abd Moin confirmed that the parents of murdered autistic boy Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin will be charged today.

"Yes. Both will be brought (to the Petaling Jaya Court Complex) today and to be charged," he told the New Straits Times.

Asked on which section and Act the couple would be facing, he said: "I cannot reveal anything until I get the confirmation from the deputy public prosecutor."

The couple aged 29 have been under a 13-day remand order to facilitate alleged murder investigations of their son.

Today marks the end of the remand order against the couple, whose son was found dead near a river at their home in Damansara Damai on Dec 6 last year.

The magistrate's court had on June 1 granted a seven day remand order and subsequently a further extension of six days.
