SUBANG JAYA: A 13-year old girl allegedly jumped from the sixth floor of an apartment building in Puchong Utama, here last night.
The 11.20pm incident allegedly occurred after the girl's mother scolded her for having a mobile phone without her permission.
It is learned that prior to taking her own life, the Form One student had written down her intentions to kill herself in a few pieces of paper that police later found in her house.
The girl, who is also the eldest of three siblings, is said to have leaped from a window in her flat's kitchen, before she landed on ground floor.
She was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics who rushed to the scene.
Subang Jaya Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said police were alerted of the incident by the public who called them at 11.21pm.
"A team of investigators rushed to the scene and found the gitl sprawled in a pool of blood below her residential block. Following checks at her house, police found several handwritten notes from her saying she wanted to commit suicide.
"In the notes the girl wrote she could no longer take the pressure and stress given by her family members and that is the reason why she wanted to end his life.
"Preliminary investigation showed that prior to the incident, the deceased mother had scolded her for owning a mobile phone without her permission and for going out at night often" he said.
Wan Azlan said initial investigation does not show any foul play.
"Police have classified the case as sudden death and investigation is still ongoing. Her body has been sent to the Serdang Hospital for a postmortem," he said.
Wan Azlan said anyone who witnessed the incident can come forward and channel any information about the case by calling 03-78627100 (Subang Jaya District Control Centre).
