A Form Two male student who pressed a hot iron on eight sleeping dormitory mates for fun has been ordered to be placed at the Henry Gurney School until he turns 17.

The order was meted out after the 14-year-old from Matang pleaded guilty to eight charges read out to him at three Magistrates’ Courts in Kuching - before magistrates Ling Hui Chuan, Mason Jaro Lenya Barayan and Syarifah Fatimah Azura Wan Ali.
