KUALA LUMPUR: A Form Two student who died after allegedly being bullied at a school hostel in Kuala Pilah was beaten with a rubber hose by two senior students before he was found unconscious.
The 14-year-old victim, Muhammad Idlan Fareeq Shahril, was struck repeatedly on the soles of his feet and body with a rubber hose after he was allegedly caught vaping.
Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the two Form Four students were believed to have assaulted the victim after ordering him to retrieve the hose from a bathroom before taking him to two hostel rooms.
Alzafny said they have recorded statements from 69 witnesses, while a post-mortem examination has yet to determine the cause of death.
