Recently, it appears that there have been plenty stories of students getting beaten up for the most ridiculous of things. From refusing to wash their bully’s clothes to asking their bully to stop watching porn.
Another similar incident has recently made headline. According to BERNAMA, an 11-year-old boy has died after he was allegedly kicked, choked and assaulted by a 16-year-old boy yesterday (21 March).
The incident had apparently stemmed from a dispute over RM4.
Kuantan district police chief ACP Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu said that the incident was believed to have occurred at a welfare home for orphans and asnaf in Kuantan, when the suspect and the victim along with 6 other residents were cleaning the surau.
“The victim was allegedly carried by 3 residents to the dormitory supervisor’s home located around 50 metres from the surau at 4:15pm in an unconscious state.”
The supervisor had initially thought that the victim had suffered a seizure. Upon realisation, the supervisor immediately rushed the victim to the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital where the doctor confirmed the victim had died at the emergency ward.
Witnesses claimed that the suspect had confronted the victim, who he suspected had taken RM4 belonging to him, but he grew angry when the victim ignored him.
This resulted in the suspect allegedly choking and slamming the victim against the ground till he lost consciousness.
Wan Mohd Zahari said the suspect has been remanded till 27 March to facilitate investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries a death sentence upon conviction.
We hope that the victim gets the justice he deserves.
