An eight-month-old baby boy who was found dead and his body smeared with salt is believed to have been killed by his biological father using a blunt object in Kampung Sungai Dua, Bachok on 13 October.
The baby was believed to have been killed by his father who suffers from mental disorders, reported Harian Metro.
The man was also reportedly involved in a cult and claimed that he heard the voice of an ‘angel’ before killing his son. Police could not record his statement as he refused to speak and did not stop chanting.
When the police successfully caught him, he was hesitant to get out of the police car, reported Harian Metro once again. He told the policemen that he needed to pray. After letting him pray for 10 minutes, the man still did not want to come out of the police car. Six of the police personnel had to carry him out of the car.
The suspect will be remanded for seven days to help in the investigations into the murder of the eight-month-old baby.
This case will be investigated by the police under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
