Cops detain 3 students for assaulting 14-year-old

Police have detained three students in and around Raub for assaulting and injuring a 14-year-old over a handphone issue.

Raub police chief Mohd Shahril Abd Rahman said the victim who received 40 stitches for injuries on his head, lodged a police report at 11.18am yesterday, claiming three students known to him had beaten him at 10.15pm on Friday (July 19) at Taman Sempalit Aman in Raub.

Shahril said initial investigations revealed that the students, aged 16 and 17, were unhappy with the victim for not yet replacing one of the student’s handphone with a new one after the victim’s brother accidentally damaged it last week.

“The victim claimed that he fell into a monsoon drain after the assault. Police are looking for witnesses to assist in the investigations," he said.

The three students would be remanded for three days to assist investigations, he added.

Anyone with information about the incident can contact the Raub police headquarters at 09-3552222.
