‘Special needs’ boy allegedly stabs classmate to death over so-called bullying

The alleged attacker, who is normally very quiet, pulled out his fruit knife and stabbed the neck of the victim.

The injured boy then ran downstairs to try and escape, but the attacker rushed after him and again stabbed him on the right side of his neck, causing the victim to fall to the floor in the basketball stadium.

School staff rushed to tend to the victim and tried to keep him awake, while others overpowered the attacker.

Staff members said the boy with special needs was mostly quiet and his classmates often teased him. They also said that the victim was not a close friend of the attacker and that they were still in the dark about what was behind the quarrel.
