A teenager with the initials ASA (17) who was the victim of a beating by nine fighters in Karangploso District, Malang Regency, died.

Kapolsek Karangploso AKP Moch Sochib stated that the victim died due to injuries to his organs. The victim was treated at the Army Hospital (RST) dr Soepraoen Malang City, East Java.

The police chief stated that one of the nine suspected perpetrators did know the victim.

"In one school, I don't know. However, there are those who know the victim," he said.

The beating began when the victim uploaded a video on his WhatsApp wearing the attributes of a silat college. One of the nine suspected perpetrators saw the video, then asked the victim if he was a member of the silat college.

After that, the alleged perpetrator found out the truth to confirm the truth of the victim's words.

The alleged perpetrator finally felt offended because the victim was not a member of the silat college.

The alleged perpetrator then asked to meet the victim on the grounds of practicing together in Ngijo Village, Karangploso District, Friday (6/9).

However, after being at the location, the victim was beaten by nine suspected perpetrators until he was unconscious.

The alleged perpetrator then took the victim to one of the health clinics. However, due to worsening conditions, the victim was finally rushed to Prasetya Husada Ngijo Hospital before being taken to Dr. Soepraoen Hospital.
