Five teenagers will be charged with bullying in connection to the death of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir, a case that has sparked nationwide outrage in Malaysia.
Mahathir was found dead outside her dormitory at an Islamic school in Sabah’s Papar district in July. Police initially said there was no foul play suspected and quickly closed the case, but mounting public anger and allegations of a cover-up prompted authorities to exhume her body and reopen the investigation.
