BANGKOK (Reuters): Authorities in Thailand charged a 14-year-old boy with premeditated murder and illegal possession of a firearm on Wednesday (Oct 4) after a shooting spree at a Bangkok mall using what police said was a modified pistol intended to fire blanks.

KUALA LUMPUR: A businessman pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here Thursday to cheating a man of RM2.45mil in a non-existent cryptocurrency investment last year.
