PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Na**tional Defence University student Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain was rushed to Hospital Serdang on Thursday with 80% of his body covered in bruises and burn marks.
The 21-year-old navy cadet officer was allegedly bound and beaten for days because of a dispute over a laptop, The Star reported a source as saying.
According to the source, Zulfarhan was tortured for two days with a belt, rubber hose, iron and hanger by his university mates on May 20 and 21.
However, a week later on May 27, two of his batch mates drove the victim to a clinic in Bangi for treatment.
“They brought him to the clinic again on May 31,” the source said, adding that they did not return to their campus but stayed at an apartment in Serdang.
When Zulfarhan’s condition worsened at around 8pm on Thursday, he was rushed to Hospital Serdang but succumbed to his injuries about two hours later.
Police have confirmed that the case is a murder investigation and 36 students have been arrested and remanded for a week until June 8.
