A school in Selangor was the scene of a gruesome attack when a 14-year-old student allegedly stabbed a 16-year-old girl to death inside a toilet on the morning of the incident. Local reports say the victim suffered more than 50 stab wounds, leaving classmates and teachers traumatised by the brutality.
Witnesses said the assailant had been allowed to leave class to use the bathroom and did not return. Chaos erupted soon after, with a friend of the victim running for help and a teacher forced to break down a door to reach the scene. The suspect reportedly attempted to flee and attacked other pupils before being subdued by staff and his older brother.
Police sources told the press the boy had confessed feelings for the victim the night before and was rejected. Investigations are ongoing; authorities have denied rumours that the attack was revenge for bullying and are treating the case as an isolated violent crime pending further inquiries.
Note Found On Him: Treating Real World People Like NPC From Games
Many online posts and circulating videos have stoked alarm, with eyewitness clips shared widely. Social-media users posted that the suspect’s phone contained numerous photos of the victim, and a number of short clips claimed to show the scene and the injuries. Comment threads reveal a mixture of grief, anger and calls for swift legal and psychiatric action.
Several commenters suggested the boy was “lost in gaming” or behaving as if he were living in a virtual world — using the phrase 玩游戏玩到走火入魔了？活在NPC的世界里？把人当“NPC” (translated: “Addicted to games? Living in an NPC world? Treating people as ‘NPCs’”). Others argued the case reflected deeper social problems: youth mental-health strains, easy access to violent media, and parental and school oversight gaps.
Selected translated reactions from the thread include:
• “His phone is full of her photos; he confessed last night and was rejected.”
• “This looks like antisocial personality traits — we must take this seriously.”
• “Modern games desensitise some youngsters; they can’t tell fantasy from reality.”
• “Ban minors from having phones” and “Under-21s shouldn’t own phones” — extreme calls reflecting public shock.
Profile and background details reported so far
Peers described the alleged attacker as quiet and reclusive, someone who rarely spoke and had few friends. Reports also said he was unhappy academically after being placed in a preparatory class due to poor Malay language skills. Teachers and school administrators are now under pressure to explain how a student could obtain weapons and carry out such an attack on campus.
Authorities have said they will scrutinise the suspect’s digital footprint and social contacts. Medical and forensic examinations are under way to confirm the cause of death and the sequence of events. The school has offered counselling to students and staff, while local education officials promised a review of campus safety measures.
Community response and next steps
Local residents and netizens have demanded tougher safeguards in schools, earlier mental-health screening and better mechanisms for pupils in distress to seek help. Police investigations will determine whether criminal charges will be laid and if any adults or institutions bore responsibility for failing to prevent the tragedy.
This horrific incident has reopened urgent discussions about adolescent mental health, online influences and school safety across the region. As inquiries continue, many are calling for concrete policy changes to reduce the risk of copycat events and to ensure young people struggling with extreme thoughts receive timely intervention.
