KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 – An unidentified teenage boy was shot dead by Malaysian security forces this morning, raising the Sulu siege death toll to 62, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Ismail Omar confirmed today.
The boy, believed to be aged between 12 and 15, was killed when security personnel stopped to question five individuals – three men and two women – at Kampung Sungai Bilis during their Ops Daulat sweep at about 9.45am this morning.
According to The Star Online, the security team saw movements in some nearby bushes and opened fire, reacting to the possibility of coming under attack from the Sulu invaders.
Upon checking later, the team found they had killed the youth and injured a man in his 30s in the leg.
In Malaysiakini’s report on the incident, Ismail (picture) said the police were still trying to determine the identities of the duo, including the five individuals who were being questioned earlier.
“They did not have any documents so we are investigating where were they from and what they were doing there,” he was quoted as saying in the news portal.
“After we were informed of this incident, our tactical command centre immediately deployed a military medical team in an armoured vehicle to the location and the seven detained including injured and dead were successfully extracted,” he added.
