SEREMBAN: The police have received fresh instructions from the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) in its probe into the death of a Year Four pupil here.
State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the police would resubmit the investigation papers (IP) after completing the instructions.
“We received the IP from the AGC on Nov 3 with new instructions.
“Once these are completed, we will resubmit the IP to the AGC,” he said.
On Oct 15, DCP Alzafny said police had wrapped up the probe after recording statements from 49 witnesses.
The papers were then submitted to the AGC.
On Oct 1, a 10-year-old victim was found unconscious in the toilet of the school in Senawang near here.
He was then rushed to a clinic by the school’s discipline teacher but was pronounced dead by a doctor.
An autopsy conducted on his remains revealed that his death was caused by compression of the neck. No other injuries were found on the body.
Personnel from Bukit Aman’s behavioural science and forensic units were also roped in for the probe.
DCP Alzafny said police were investigating all angles, including possible criminal elements and bullying.
Police were probing the boy’s death under the anti-bullying legislation or Section 507C of the Penal Code, he said.
Section 507C criminalises the use of threatening, abusive or insulting words or actions that are likely to cause harassment, distress, fear or alarm in another person, even if harm was not intended by the perpetrator.
The penalty for this offence is a term of imprisonment of up to one year, a fine, or both.
DCP Alzafny appealed to all parties not to issue any statements since the papers were still in the process of being completed, as the findings may affect the investigation process.
He said police would reveal the outcome of the probe once it receives instructions from the AGC.
