Cops believe Form 2 student assaulted for ‘breaking school rules’
Negeri Sembilan police chief Alzafny Ahmad says a Form 4 student arrested in connection with the case is believed to have reprimanded and 'punished' the victim.
According to the Negeri Sembilan police chief, Alzafny Ahmad, only one arrest has been made in connection with the alleged assault case. The incident occurred at a sports school in Kuala Pilah, where a Form 2 student named Idlan Fareeq Shahril died after being allegedly assaulted by a senior student. Police believe the senior student reprimanded and "punished" the 16-year-old victim for breaking school rules.
A preliminary investigation revealed this, and the Form 4 student has been arrested to assist with the ongoing investigation. The arrested student was initially remanded for six days until October 1. The victim was found unconscious in the dormitory before being taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police are currently investigating the incident for murder.
Idlan's aunt had previously claimed that a senior at the school hostel was responsible for the assault. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has ordered an immediate audit of the school's safety compliance.
