Kuala Pilah school death: Five students allege bullying by 16-year-old suspect

Seremban, September 30 — Five students have come forward to the police, alleging that the first suspect detained in connection with the death of a Form Two male student in Kuala Pilah last Friday, had bullied them. Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad confirmed this during an interview with reporters. The investigation, which has thus far involved 69 witness statements, revealed the alleged bullying.

Currently, only two male suspects, aged 16, are being held in custody, with remand orders set to expire on October 1 and 3 respectively. They are aiding the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

Interestingly, it has emerged that the victim never informed his family about the bullying he allegedly faced at school. The police also announced the arrest of another 16-year-old male student on September 30, in the probe into the tragic incident. The first suspect, a Form Four student, had previously been detained for six days for assisting in the case under Section 302.

On September 25, a Form Two student was injured during an incident at a school in Kuala Pilah and later succumbed to injuries at Hospital Tuanku Ampuan Najihah.
