Police are now putting all the information together after interviewing all the parties involved following the death of a form seven student in Lautoka last week.

Lautoka Police say it is a sensitive issue and they will forward the investigation file to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for their opinion.

Meanwhile, a teacher has been suspended by the Ministry of Education in relation to this case.

Education Minister Dr. Mahendra Reddy said they are carrying out a full investigation and appropriate action will be taken after obtaining the full report of the incident.

Dr. Reddy said he will not entertain irresponsible acts and is sounding a warning to teachers involved in similar acts to change their approach to students or face the axe as the Ministry does not want to have bullies in our school system.

Police say according to student's post mortem report she died due to the extent of burns sustained in a fire last Wednesday.
