The victim’s father, Ahmed Abdul Azeem, said: “My son succumbed to his burns after one month in the intensive care unit in the University hospital where a medical team conducted 10 surgeries on him in an effort to save his life.”
“Mohammed was a victim of bullying as his friends used to mistreat him and make fun of him because of my work as a garbage collector,” the father added.
The Public Prosecution has ordered to place the three children in a juvenile institution, as they are aged 9-10 years.
