Bandar Baru Selayang– A 15-year-old boy has been charged with six counts of murder after a van he drove crashed and killed six of the suspected illegal immigrants packed inside. The boy appeared at a probable cause hearing today, where he was also charged with 12 counts of smuggling a person, boxes filled with painkillers, among other things. 

The investigating officer mentioned that the grisly scene was strewn with bodies, backpacks, and drugs. All of those killed were Bangladeshi citizens; an investigation led to the discovery of a stash house where dozens of illegal immigrants were located. 

The boy told investigators he drove the van because his family had been threatened. Further investigation are still ongoing.
