His aunt Dzuraidah Ahmad, 38, said that the boy entered the operating theatre of Hospital Sultan Ismail at around 8am on Wednesday. She said the decision to amputate Mohamad Thaqif Amin Mohd Gaddafi's right arm came after there was no improvement to the condition of the limb. It was reported that his right arm and fingers had turned black due to damaged blood cells and tissue despite showing signs of improvement on Sunday. The 11-year-old is now likely to lose his right arm in addition to both his legs following the alleged abuse by the school's assistant warden. The suspect, 29, an ex-convict, reportedly whipped the boy and several other students with a water hose to punish them.
