5 students accuse suspect in sports school murder of bullying

Five students have come forward to allege they were bullied by the first suspect detained in the murder investigation of a Form 2 student in Kuala Pilah, police chief Alzafny Ahmad has disclosed. This revelation emerged from the ongoing probe into the 69 witness statements recorded thus far.

The suspect, a 16-year-old Form 4 student, remains the lone individual arrested, under remand until October 1. No fresh arrests have been made aside from these two male detainees, who are each set to remain in custody until the specified date.

Interestingly, the victim never informed his family of his alleged bullying at school. Police investigators have also uncovered this critical piece of information. The tragic incident unfolded on September 25, when a Form 2 student was assaulted at a sports school in Kuala Pilah, ultimately succumbing to his injuries at Tuanku Ampuan Najihah Hospital.
