A 19-year-old Sandakan boy was found dead in his own pool of blood last night. He reportedly slashed himself to death after his parents stopped him from following Islamic religious activities.
According to a report in The Star Online, the boy's body was found on Thursday night, 7 June, while holding a saw, with which he is believed to have slashed himself.
The Star Online quoted Sandakan police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azhar Hamin saying that the teenager was forbidden by his parents from attending Islamic religious activities in Sandakan, following which he had been depressed.
