Kuala Pilah hostel death: Form Four student’s remand extended seven days until Oct 8

On October 1, the remand order for a 16-year-old male student, detained in connection with the death of a Form Two student at a Kuala Pilah school hostel, was extended by seven days. Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad announced that the suspect will remain in custody until October 8, following a decision by the Kuala Pilah Magistrates' Court. This extension comes after the magistrate approved an earlier request from the police to allow for additional investigations.

Police have so far collected statements from 70 individuals, including students, teachers, and coaches. Among these, five students have come forward claiming to have been bullied by the suspect. The victim, identified as 14-year-old Muhammad Idlan Fareeq, was rushed to Hospital Tuanku Ampuan Najihah after being found unconscious at the hostel and later died at the hospital. According to police reports, the victim is believed to have been attacked with a rubber hose by two senior students.
