 Boy accidentally stabbed by cousin, dies

IPOH: A boy was killed after he was accidentally stabbed by his 11-year-old cousin at the latter's home in Taman Cempaka, Kampung Koh Setiawan.

The seven-year-old was killed instantly after being stabbed in his chest during the 10.20pm incident Friday, when both their families were busy making preparations for Deepavali the next day.

His uncle told reporters that the incident happened when the boy's cousin, went inside the house to take a knife after being told by his mother, to cut a rope.

"The boy who lived next door suddenly ran into the house before they bumped into each other at the front door.

"This caused the knife to pierce the victim in the chest. We took him to the Seri Manjung Hospital but he did not make it," the 43-year-old uncle said when met at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (HRPB) Forensic Unit here today.

The uncle said his nephew's request to have mutton curry before the tragedy struck would forever haunt him.

"I told him that he could only taste it the next day as it was the main dish for Deepavali celebrations. We didn't expect that he would be gone so soon," he said.

Meanwhile, Manjung district police chief Nor Omar Sappi confirmed the matter when contacted today.

He said the post-mortem was conducted at the HRPB this morning and the police were still investigating the case.
