Malaysian police are investigating a religious school’s assistant warden for murder, after a schoolboy died in a case that has sparked outrage.
The accused had allegedly beaten the boy, 11-year-old Mohamed Thaqif Amin Mohd Gaddafi, with a water hose.
The boy later contracted serious infections and doctors amputated his legs. He died on Wednesday from complications.
The incident has prompted calls for greater scrutiny of religious schools.
