Driven to death by bullies

KUALA LUMPUR: A family friend of 13-year-old T. Kavinraj (pic), whose mother claimed that bullies drove him to committing suicide by drinking insecticide, wishes that he had taken the boy’s complaints more seriously.

Sambhasivam Doraisamy, 49, whom Kavinraj had looked up to as a father figure, said the student would often come home from school crying or upset.
