2nd suspect in sports school murder probe remanded 6 more days

In a recent development in the murder investigation at a sports school in Kuala Pilah, Malaysia, authorities have remanded the second suspect, a 16-year-old Form 4 student, for an additional six days. This comes as the first remand period for the suspect had expired on October 3. According to Kuala Pilah police chief Mustafah Hussin, the second remand application was made on Saturday.

The Seremban magistrates court subsequently granted the police's request to extend the Form 4 student's detention until October 9. The investigation paper is nearly complete and will be submitted to prosecutors the following evening, Mustafah added. The incident in question occurred on September 25, when a Form 2 student was injured and subsequently died at Tuanku Ampuan Najihah Hospital on the same day.

Two suspects, both aged 16, were apprehended in connection with the murder probe. Last week, state police chief Alzafny Ahmad disclosed that five students had accused the first suspect of bullying them in the past.
