Investigations revealed that his 51-year-old mother had left for work at approximately 6.40 am, while his younger brother went to school.

“He was left at home with his sister. Before leaving for work, she told him off for skipping school.”

The younger brother came home at about 1.30pm and alarmingly found the victim hanging dead from the ceiling of his bedroom. Shocked, he then untied the rope around the 15-year-old victim’s neck and immediately contacted his mother.

It is believed that the incident happened after the deceased was scolded by his sister, according to Azmir.

A post-mortem was done at Hospital Beaufort and the case has been classified as sudden death.
