(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : A Year 2 pupil at a primary school in Kuala Terengganu sustained a fractured orbital bone and broken nose after allegedly being assaulted by a group of schoolmates on July 30. The incident came to light when the boy returned home at about 4pm with blood and bruises on his face. According to his mother, he was attacked by several pupils who held his arms and punched him in the face until he fell. 'I brought him to a private clinic, where X-rays confirmed the injuries. He was then referred to Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital in Kuala Terengganu,' Bernama reported her as saying today. The boy, the second of three siblings, underwent surgery this morning to repair the nasal fracture. His mother said this was not the first time that he had been bullied. In June, he suffered an eye injury after being hit with a rock, but no police report was lodged at the time. However, following the latest incident, she said she had decided to take legal action. The mother also said the school met with the parents of the pupils involved on Monday to discuss the matter. Kuala Terengganu police chief Azli Noor confirmed receiving a report, and said a preliminary investigation suggested that the incident stemmed from teasing among the pupils. 'The case has been referred to the school management and the Kuala Terengganu education office for further action,' he said.

(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Police have arrested a married couple on suspicion of fatally abusing their one-year-and-11-month-old son. Kuala Terengganu police chief Azli Noor said police received a report from Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital regarding the boy's death at 4.14pm on Wednesday, Bernama reported. He said the toddler, the youngest of two children, was brought to the hospital unconscious at 1pm by his father and stepmother. They claimed that the child had fallen, causing his forehead to swell. The father said he applied ice to reduce the swelling and the child began playing as normal. 'However, at about noon the next day (Wednesday), while preparing to feed him milk, the father found the child weak and his body limp. 'The father said he massaged the boy's neck to prevent a seizure, causing it to bruise,' Azli said in a statement today. The couple took the child to the Manir health clinic but were referred to the hospital due to his critical condition. The victim was pronounced dead at 2.05pm yesterday. Azli said the child had suffered brain injuries as well as bruises and wounds. He said a post-mortem revealed the cause of death as intracranial haemorrhage due to blunt force trauma. He said the father confessed to hitting the victim with a clothes hanger. The 27-year-old man and 30-year-old woman were detained at 10pm in Marang shortly after the boy's burial. They were later remanded for a week for investigations. The couple's other son, aged three, has been placed under the care of the social welfare department.
