beat up by his classmates ever since he was in the fifth grade.

"Usually he was hit in the head. Sometimes he was oftenly hit by thick books," said the student
who wanted to remain anonymous.

Following his nephew's death, Surono said that he reported the case to the police two days ago.

"Initially, I was told not to bring the case to the police but to resolve it in the school. However,
our family wants to have the case investigated so that we all can take a lesson from it," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of Anti-Crime Division of Sukoharjo Police, Second Inspector Suparno

confirmed that the victim’s family had reported the case the police.

"We're investigating the case and for the time being, the family refused to have an autopsy to the
