Police say this is because the case has been reclassified as a murder.
JOHOR BAHRU: The remand on an assistant warden of a tahfiz school here who was arrested on suspicion of having brutally assaulted a student has been further extended by seven days.
Johor CID chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the Kota Tinggi Magistrate’s Court allowed the extension because the case had been reclassified as a murder.
“The new remand order for seven days is valid until May 3,” he said in a statement here yesterday.
Police had previously obtained a four-day remand order on the 29-year-old suspect, which was later extended by three days.
The brutal assault on Mohamad Thaqif Amin Mohd Gaddafi, 11, forced doctors to amputate both his legs, which became infected due to the severe beating he took.
The boy died at 2.06pm on Wednesday at the Sultan Ismail Hospital here. -FMT
