KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — Police have arrested three secondary schoolboys near here on suspicion of beating another student at a block of flats in Ampang.
Ampang Jaya district police chief Khairul Anuar Khalid said that in the 12.31pm incident on Friday, the victim was taken to the bottom of a staircase at Flat Sri Nilam by a schoolboy before being assaulted by the suspects.
“The motive for the incident is believed to be over the harassment of one of the suspects’ girlfriends. The incident was recorded by a schoolboy and circulated in a WhatsApp group,” he said in a statement yesterday.
He said all three suspects were arrested this afternoon, and the case is being investigated under Sections 147 and 507B of the Penal Code.
Earlier, a three-minute, 29-second video of a schoolboy being beaten by another student went viral on social media, having been filmed by a third person.
