SEREMBAN: A 15-year-old boy who was forced to drink liquid, believed to be insecticide, by a group of youths after he allegedly chided them for sniffing glue has died.

It is learnt that the boy, who had apparently stopped school in March, died at the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital on Tuesday night.

The teenager was referred to the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital last Thursday after he was taken to a clinic in Nilai by his mother.

Nilai OCPD Supt Zaludin Zaldino said then that the victim claimed the boys had pinned him down and forced him to drink the liquid.

The following day, he was rushed to the clinic by his mother after he began experiencing abdominal pains and vomiting.
