KUALA LUMPUR: Four 13-year-old students detained over the alleged assault of a classmate at a shopping mall in Kajang have been released on police bail on Saturday (Aug 1).
Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Naazron Abdul Yusof said the remand for the suspects, which was initially extended until tomorrow, was concluded earlier following the completion of documentation and investigative procedures.
"To date, police have recorded statements from nine individuals, including the four students," he said in a statement.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the incident was triggered by the suspects' dissatisfaction with the victim's manner of communication and interaction.
On July 30, the Form One student lodged a police report alleging that classmates beat him at about 11 am at the mall. He later received medical treatment and was confirmed to have sustained minor facial injuries. – Bernama
