MEDAN - A SMK student in Padangsidimpuan City, North Sumatra with the initials WA(16) died. He is thought to have died from infection after putting braces on his teeth.
Information was obtained, initially the victim put braces on his teeth 3 weeks ago. However, after 2 weeks of the installation, the victim complained of pain in her mouth to her family that the braces on her teeth fell off, causing the victim's lips to hurt.
In fact, the result of the wound made it difficult for the victim to eat and drink.
Hearing this confession, the family tried to treat the victim with minimal treatment. In fact, the victim who could not stand the result of suffering from a wound on his lips forcibly pulled out his braces.
After a week of suffering from these injuries, the victim finally died.
Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Padangsidempuan Police, AKP Bambang Priyatno when confirmed, said that his party received reports from the public who suspected that the victim's death was due to persecution. The victim died on August 16.
"Because a week before the victim died, he posted that his eyes were reddened on the inside and his lips were bleeding. On that basis, when he wanted to be buried, the public reported to us," Bambang told reporters, Tuesday, August 24.
Receiving the report, Bambang said his party immediately went to the location of the victim's burial. Admittedly, there was an argument between his side and his family.
"There was a debate, we finally gave them an understanding that we only wanted to carry out an external post-mortem. Finally, the victim's family agreed that we should take them to a general hospital for an external post-mortem. After that, we returned them to their families, and they were buried on that day," he said.
Bambang said, from the post-mortem, it was found that there were bruises caused by blunt objects. He suspected that at that time the victim might have felt pain until he hit the wall.
In addition, the victim has also been absent from work for 10 days due to illness.
"When we clarified to his parents they said he put braces on, then his parents didn't know where to put them. Until now his friend didn't know where to put them, maybe he felt uncomfortable with the braces, opened it himself, infection," he said.
Bambang said that if the victim's family had made a statement, the autopsy would not be carried out and would not object. The family also stated that the victim died from pain in his gums.
