KUALA LUMPUR  - The deadly fire that broke out at a religious school on Thursday was motivated by revenge, Malaysian police revealed on Saturday (Sept 16).

Kuala Lumpur police chief Amar Singh said seven individuals aged between 11 and 18 have been arrested over the blaze at Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah tahfiz school that killed 23 people.

“The motive was to cause a fire, not to kill. It was also prompted by mocking,” Datuk Amar told reporters, declining to elaborate further.
