Kuala Pilah student's death: Five students allege bullying by first suspect
SEREMBAN: Five students have come forward to police claiming they were bullied by the first suspect detained over the death of a Form Two male student in Kuala Pilah last Friday.
Five students from SMK Za'aba in Kuala Pilah have alleged they were bullied by the first suspect detained in connection with the death of a 14-year-old male student at the school hostel last Friday. Police Chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad reported that the victim, Muhammad Idlan Fareeq Shahril, never mentioned being bullied at school according to initial family accounts.
The police have recorded statements from 69 witnesses, including 53 students, four teachers, three wardens, six parents, two doctors, and a boxing coach. The first and second suspects are both 16-year-old Form 4 schoolmates who are members of the archery team. The second suspect allegedly kicked the victim six times before taking him to meet the first suspect.
Both suspects have been remanded until October 1 and October 3, respectively. The alleged incident occurred after Maghrib prayers on September 25, during which the victim was called to the senior students' dormitory in Block A for a study session, but was instead beaten by the suspects.
