The Sukabumi City Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) is investigating the case of the death of MDH (9) a student at an elementary school (SD) in Sukaraja District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, who is suspected of being a victim of abuse at school.

"We have asked for information from six witnesses from the victim's family and the school, regarding the case of abuse to the death of an elementary school student at an elementary school in Sukaraja District," said Sukabumi City Police Criminal Investigation Unit Head AKP Yanto Sudiarto as quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, May 21.

According to information gathered from various sources, this act of persecution against the victim allegedly occurred on May 15 and 16, 2023. Where the student who was in grade 2 of elementary school was persecuted by his senior and his senior friends.

The act of persecution carried out in two consecutive days was carried out in two different places, namely on Monday, (15/5) the victim was abused around the school environment and on the second day or on Tuesday, (16/5) the victim received bullying behind the school or near the bathroom.

As a result of the abuse, the victim complained that her chest and back felt sick and shortness of breath. At first, MDH did not admit that the pain she was experiencing was due to abuse. But in the end, he only wanted to confess after being persuaded by the hospital doctor who handled him and admitted that he had been abused by his seniors and teammates, totaling four people.

Due to the declining health condition of the victim, the victim's family took MDH to the hospital for treatment. However, on the fourth day of treatment or on Saturday, May 20, the victim vomited blood and eventually died.

According to Yanto, the day after the victim was buried or Sunday, the Sukabumi City Police Satreskrim afternoon had examined a number of witnesses related to the alleged abuse that resulted in the victim's death.

Initially, this case was not reported by the victim's family and his parents refused to do an autopsy on MDH's body. However, his party will continue to handle this case by carrying out various developments to reveal the perpetrators and their motives.

His staff are still gathering information and looking for witnesses and supporting evidence as well as asking for the results of the post-mortem from the hospital for further investigation.

"For the results of the post-mortem, we are still waiting from the hospital. We are committed to uncovering this case even though there is a rejection of the autopsy process from the victim's family," he added.

Yanto appealed to the public and netizens ( internet residents) to be able to exercise restraint and not spread hoax information or news that is not necessarily true regarding this incident.

The Sukabumi City Police Satreskrim is currently still working professionally to uncover cases of alleged abuse to death committed in a school environment in an elementary school in Sukaraja District, Sukabumi Regency.
