“The victim had allegedly reported to his father on 29/11/24 that he was pushed by his classmates at school during child play and complained of back pains.”
It was a minor complaint at first—just a sore back after a day at school. But as the days passed, the pain worsened, culminating in the tragic outcome no parent ever expects.
Authorities have not yet determined whether the incident was purely accidental or if further details will emerge during the investigation.
The full extent of what happened remains under investigation, and the ZRP has urged the public to be patient as they seek the truth.
The school involved, which was not named in the official police statement, has yet to issue an official statement, but it is understood that they are cooperating fully with the police investigation.
