Investigation Into Student’s Dormitory Fall Almost Complete - Police

SHAH ALAM, Sept 3 (Bernama) -- Police are in the final stages of completing the investigation paper on a Form Three student who fell from a school dormitory in Sabak Bernam on Aug 24.

Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the investigation included a detailed examination of the scene and analysis of dormitory closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

He said several individuals have been called to give their statements, which have provided useful leads for the case.

“The investigation has been actively pursued and on-site checks are complete. The investigation paper is being updated before it is referred to the state prosecution office for further advice and action,” he told a press conference here today.

Shazeli said it is too early to confirm whether the case involved elements of bullying, pending a full briefing to the prosecution office.

He added that the victim remains hospitalised and unconscious.

“No arrests have been made, but several positive leads have been identified based on witness statements,” he said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 31(1) of the Child Act 2001.

On Aug 24, the media reported that Ahmad Irfan Ahmad Hanafi, 15, was seriously injured after falling from the third floor of his dormitory in an incident suspected to be linked to bullying.
