"We are waiting for the results of the hospital's autopsy. With the release of this autopsy, two pieces of evidence will be fulfilled, and the status will be raised to investigation," said Police Commissioner Leonardus Simamarta, Malang City Police Chief, on Tuesday (4/1).

Victim MS (13) experienced bullying at his school and had to undergo treatment for his injuries. One of the victim's fingers suffered from decay, as well as bruises on his legs and hands. The victim, who is in 7th grade, also experienced trauma due to the pressure from his friends.

2. Victim Was Thrown En Masse

MS (13) is currently undergoing treatment at Lavalette Hospital in Malang City after becoming a victim of extreme bullying by his schoolmates. The victim, who is in 7th grade, has bruises and contusions on his fingers, arms, back, and legs.

The victim was assaulted by being thrown en masse on the pavement around the school yard. The victim was also thrown against a tree, although the act was done under the guise of joking.

3. Child Judicial Process

The perpetrator is threatened with allegations of assault and violence against children committed together in public.

"Meanwhile, the allegations we are currently handling are allegations of violence against children committed together in public. We apply Article 80 paragraph 2 of Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection," he explained.

Because the perpetrator and the victim are still children, the investigation process is carried out with certain procedures that are different from cases involving adults.

"Nevertheless, the process is still ongoing. If children are treated differently, there is a child judicial process, and we involve parents there," he said.
