3 high school students charged over bullying

The three defendants punched and kicked the victim, surnamed Lai, at the school, and the act of violence damaged Lai's left kidney as well as inflicting other injuries, police said.

Lai was rushed to the hospital following the incident, and doctors had to remove the damaged kidney, the police said, without identifying the school or the defendants.

Lai's parents were saddened and angered by the violence, claiming it was a case of attempted murder, the Central News Agency reported.

The defendants showed deep remorse after their arrest, but police still referred them to the juvenile court.

Two of the defendants suspected that Lai was the informant who told a teacher that they had brought cigarettes to school.

They later asked the third defendant to help them attack Lai, police said.

Doctors said one kidney will still be able to support bodily functions. But Lai must take good care of his remaining kidney or the organ may develop problems in the future, they said.
