Two university students fall to death 14 hours apart at same condominium
KUALA LUMPUR: A university student fell to his death from a condominium here on Wednesday (Aug 20), reports MySinChew.
The male student was found dead near the basketball court of the condominium at 8.30pm on Wednesday, Sin Chew Daily's English language portal reported.
Earlier, it was reported that a 22-year-old female student had fallen to her death at a separate block of the same condominium.
The female student's father, who was identified as Ho, lodged a police report alleging that his daughter, a third-year public relations student who was set to graduate at the end of the year, could have been a victim of bullying.
He said that he was informed by the condominium management that his daughter had fallen from the 22nd floor on Wednesday (Aug 20).
"I was told by her friends that other students at her university had been mentally bullying her.
"There had been pressure from her friends due to a difference in opinions," he said.
He added that she had complained about the matter to her siblings.
A previous attempt was also thwarted after security guards saved her from falling from her home last week.
Police are investigating the matter and have been contacted by The Star for comment.
