olice investigators are looking into a case in which an 8-year-old student at public elementary school SDN 07 Pagi in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, was allegedly beaten to death by a classmate.

'€œWe'€™re currently interviewing several witnesses, including the teacher and the victim'€™s mother,'€ the Kebayoran Lama Police'€™s women and child protection unit head Adj. Comr. Nunu Supadmi said as quoted by kompas.com on Saturday.

The second-grader, Anggrah Ardiansyah, reportedly got into a fight with his classmate, identified as Ricard, during a drawing class at the school on Friday morning.

Kebayoran Lama Police chief Comr. Riftajudin said that Ricard allegedly punched Anggrah in the chest and kicked him in the head. '€œ[Anggrah] then fell and suffered bleeding from the head and chest,'€ he said.

Reports say that Anggrah was rushed to Kebayoran Lama community health center at around 10 a.m. before being transferred at around 6 p.m. to Fatmawati Hospital in South Jakarta, where he died.
