PETALING JAYA: The 15-year-old suspect detained over the stabbing of a schoolmate at a secondary school in Banting on Monday has claimed to be a victim of bullying by her classmates, including the stab victim.
Selangor police chief Shazeli Kahar said the girl, when questioned by investigators, attributed the attack to pent-up feelings of dissatisfaction towards several schoolmates.
However, he said statements recorded from the individuals named in the suspect’s notes so far did not indicate that bullying had taken place.
“That said, I request that investigators be given room to investigate this matter fully,” Utusan Malaysia reported him as saying at a press conference in Shah Alam today.
Shazeli said investigations found that the suspect had not gone to school for eight months, and had been learning from home due to health problems.
He also said the victim, who reportedly suffered a lung injury and 16 stab wounds, was in stable condition and continued to receive hospital treatment.
The suspect remains under remand until tomorrow to assist in investigations under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder.
