KUCHING, Oct 28: Police have found no evidence linking bullying to the case of a 16-year-old student who allegedly injured a teacher with an axe at a private school here on Oct 21.
Acting Sarawak Police Commissioner DCP Saifullizan Ishak said the motive behind the incident had yet to be established, as police were awaiting a forensic psychiatric assessment of the student.
“We have not found any evidence so far linking bullying to the incident.
“Police are conducting a detailed investigation to establish the cause of the incident and gather relevant evidence. At this stage, preliminary findings indicate that the incident stemmed from the suspect experiencing depression,” he told a press conference at the Sarawak Police Contingent Headquarters here today.
