N. Sumatra police hunting man for fatally stabbing nephew at school

The North Sumatra Police are looking for a 32-year-old man, identified only by the initial R,
for stabbing his 10-year-old nephew on Tuesday morning at a school in Sunggal district, Deli
Serdang.
Sunggal Police chief Comr. Candra Yudha said they had identified the man and were
investigating the motive for the stabbing. “Hopefully, we will arrest him soon,” Candra added.
The incident happened in a sixth-grade classroom at the Baiti Jannati Foundation elementary
school.
Waluyo, who chairs the educational foundation, said the victim had just entered the
classroom with his friends after the morning roll call when the incident occurred.
“The perpetrator came into the classroom and went directly to the victim’s desk. He stabbed
[the victim] in the chest with a kitchen knife,” Waluyo said. The perpetrator then immediately
left the classroom, exiting the school compound by climbing over an external fence.
According to Waluyo, the teacher and other students in the classroom were too stunned to
prevent the attack. The victim was rushed to a hospital, but did not survive his injury.
