Police investigating new viral video of students fighting

Jun 20, 2017

Police in Nilai are investigating a new viral video, apparently showing a fight between two teenagers, believed to be students from a secondary school in Mantin. 

The cops told the NST they have yet to receive any reports on the incident, but they launched a preliminary investigation as soon as the clip was brought to their attention. 

Police will be contacting the school, to try and verify the identities of the students. 

The clip comes amid two recent high-profile bullying cases, which resulted in the death of T. Nhaveen, and Navy cadet Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain. 

Meanwhile, the four teenagers who've been charged with murder over Nhaveen's death, will be given court-appointed lawyers. 

Earlier reports had said the families of the accused were having trouble findings lawyers willing to represent them. 

The Malaysian Bar told the Malay Mail, giving court-appointed counsel happens for all cases where capital punishment is imposed upon conviction.
