Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus confirmed the suspect is currently on special medical leave and is being processed for medical retirement on the recommendation of the Medical Board. The suspect has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, a chronic brain disorder that leads to significant impairments in how reality is perceived and changes in behaviour. Common symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, disorganised speech, and difficulties in emotional regulation, affecting how individuals think, feel, and behave. Individuals with schizophrenia may struggle to distinguish between what is real and what is not, leading to abnormal interpretations of sights, sounds, and experiences.
