Second suspect in Kuala Pilah student death remanded until Oct 9
SEREMBAN: The remand for a second suspect detained over the death of a Form Two student in Kuala Pilah on Sept 25 has been extended by six days until Oct 9.
On September 25, a 14-year-old Form Two student died after being found unconscious in his dormitory at Tuanku Ampuan Najihah Hospital in Kuala Pilah. The student's death has led to the remand of a second suspect, a 16-year-old male, until October 9. The first suspect, also 16, remains remanded until Thursday.
Kuala Pilah district police chief Superintendent Mustafah Hussin informed that the second suspect is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. No new developments have been reported, and investigations are ongoing, with laboratory test results still pending.
Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad earlier stated that 69 statements have been recorded, with five students claiming to have been bullied by one of the detained suspects. The 14-year-old victim was rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious in his dormitory, where he was later pronounced dead.
