Police: Probe on death of tahfiz student almost complete

Police investigation on the death of tahfiz school pupil, Mohamad Thaqif Amin Mohd Gaddafi, is almost completed, says Johor police chief Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd.

He said the investigation paper, which had been submitted to the deputy public prosecutor, had just been returned for the police to add several facts in connection with the investigation.

"The investigation paper will be resubmitted to the prosecutor as soon as possible after we have put in the additional facts of the case for his action," he said when contacted in Johor Baru today.

Mohamad Thaqif Amin, 11, who had both legs amputated for viral infection, died at 2.05pm on Wednesday, at the Sultan Ismail Hospital in Johor Baru.

An operation to amputate his right hand at 8am on the same day had to be postponed as his heart was unstable.

His story went viral on social media after his legs were hurt allegedly from a beating by the assistant warden in his school.

The 29-year-old man was remanded until Wednesday to facilitate investigation on the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
