The news of an 11-year-old boy being killed by his stepfather's friend is a tragic incident that highlights the dangers that children can face when left in the care of others. According to reports, the boy was left with the suspect while his parents went to work at a nearby oil palm plantation.

The incident occurred at 7:30 a.m., and upon receiving information about the incident, the police team went to the scene to conduct an investigation. The police found the boy covered in blood with apparent stab wounds on the back of the head and the front and back of the neck. His left hand was also severed. The investigation found that the suspect was a friend of the boy's stepfather who fled after the incident.

The police are actively searching for the suspect, identified as a 33-year-old foreign man named Paulus Poka Lolo, who works as a general worker at the oil palm plantation. The motive for the incident is still unknown, and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code. If found guilty, the suspect could face the death penalty. The boy's body was later sent to the forensics department at Lahad Datu Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

This incident is a reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety of children, especially when they are left in the care of others. Parents and guardians must exercise caution when entrusting their children to others and ensure that they are left in the care of responsible and trustworthy individuals. It is also essential to teach children about personal safety and how to protect themselves from harm.

The loss of a child is a devastating experience for any family, and our hearts go out to the family of the boy who lost his life in this tragic incident. It is our hope that the perpetrator of this heinous crime will be brought to justice and that measures will be put in place to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
