Teen livestreamed alleged axe attack on Kuching teacher, acting Sarawak police chief confirms

A 16-year-old student allegedly attacked a female teacher at an international school in Kuching, livestreaming the incident on social media.

The video, removed by authorities, showed the student with a lighter and axe, leading to concerns about school safety.

The case is being investigated under laws related to injury and explosives, with police urging against spreading unverified information.

KUCHING, Oct 22 — Police have confirmed that a 16-year-old male student was livestreaming when he allegedly attacked a female teacher at an international school here yesterday morning.

According to a report by Sinar Harian , acting Sarawak Police Commissioner DCP Saifullizan Ishak confirmed that the video circulating on social media was related to the incident.

However, he said the video that was broadcast on Facebook had since been taken down by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

The report said a 12-minute and six-second video surfaced showing the incident from the teenager’s perspective as he allegedly carried out the attack on a female teacher.

The video has since gone viral on social media, sparking widespread concern over the incident.

In the footage, the teenager appeared to be taking items, including a lighter and an axe, out of his schoolbag while inside a school toilet.

He also appeared to have a mobile phone strapped to his head, recording his movements in the moments leading up to the alleged attack.

The footage then became shaky as the teenager ran towards a classroom, where the alleged attack took place.

The phone appeared to fall off during the ensuing commotion, causing the livestream to go black, although screams could still be heard in the background.

Apart from the livestream, several photographs purportedly showing the teenager have also gone viral, along with a separate video believed to be closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from inside the classroom showing the alleged attack.

The circulation of the videos and photographs has drawn various reactions from netizens, with many condemning the alleged attack while others expressed shock and concern over safety in schools.

Some social media users voiced fears over the possibility of such violence occurring in a school environment, while others expressed sympathy for the teacher and those who witnessed the incident.

In a statement, Saifullizan said the Kuching District Police Headquarters received information about the incident through an emergency call at approximately 8.03am on Wednesday.

He said initial information indicated that the teenager had brought firecrackers to the school and allegedly injured the female teacher with an axe.

The victim reportedly suffered injuries to her hand.

The case is being investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code and Section 6(1) of the Explosives Act 1957.

“Police are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the full cause of the incident and gather relevant evidence,” he said.

Saifullizan also advised the public against speculating or spreading unverified information about the incident to respect the investigation process and protect the interests of those involved. — The Borneo Post

古晋，10月22日讯——警方证实，昨天上午，一名16岁男学生在古晋一所国际学校进行直播时，涉嫌袭击了一名女教师。

据《阳光日报》报道，砂拉越代理警察总监赛夫利赞·伊沙克证实，社交媒体上流传的视频与该事件有关。

该视频随后在社交媒体上疯传，引发了人们对这起事件的广泛关注。

视频显示，这名青少年在学校厕所里从书包里拿出打火机和斧头等物品。

他还似乎头上绑着一部手机，记录着他在袭击发生前的行动。

随后画面开始晃动，因为这名少年跑向一间教室，据称袭击事件就发生在那里。

他说，初步信息显示，这名青少年将鞭炮带到了学校，并涉嫌用斧头砍伤了女教师。

据报道，受害者手部受伤。

警方正在根据《刑法》第 324 条和 1957 年《爆炸物法》第 6(1) 条对此案进行调查。

他说：“警方正在进行彻底调查，以确定事件的全部原因并收集相关证据。”

赛夫利赞还呼吁公众不要对事件进行猜测或散布未经证实的信息，以尊重调查程序并保护相关人员的利益。——《婆罗洲邮报》
