The police detained a 16-year-old teenager suspected of causing serious bodily harm during a fight at Kant school No. 3. The press service of the Main Internal Affairs Department of Chui region reported.

The department recalled that a local resident contacted the police on January 25. According to him, on January 22, a 10th-grade student of school No. 3 beat up his younger brother Ch.D., 16, who was later taken to the hospital. On January 25, the boy died without regaining consciousness.

According to investigators, the students quarreled and started a fight after classes outside the school.

R.A., 16, was detained. He was placed in a temporary detention facility. A criminal case was opened under Article 130 «Causing serious bodily harm» of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
